Re the original question about boozers. Good Beer Guide ..…
CHURCHILLS 83-85 Topping St FY1 3AF “an example of that rare thing, a Blackpool town-centre pub with character, it has one room divided into various areas. The venue is lively, sometimes boisterous, and located a short stroll from the Winter Gardens…”
RAMSDEN ARMS 204 Talbot Rd FY1 3AZ “the Rammy is back… quality real ales… superb pub located by the North rail station… good value bar food until 6pm..”
They sound like proper pubs not tourist traps. I’ll be in Churchills. I now need to find somewhere post-gig until first train or bus home.
