Default Pontins, Blackpool- October '10 - Lots of pics! - 31-10-2010, 19:44

The visit-
I went here today with my boyfriend Chris, and my sister Sara.
Most of the demolition has started and not much still stands here, Nice explore though! I used to come here when I was younger for a week or two holiday, I must say I enjoyed it here, although looking at these photo's, It's hard to believe!
Didn't see all of the site as there was lots if diggers and workmen here.
It was extremely eery, and reminded me of a ghost town!
I would love to have come here for an explore when it first closed!
Not much to see, once you have seen one chalet, you have seen them all.

The History-
The park did make some improvements to the facilities before its closure, put visitors still decliened to book.
Blackpool pontins closed on October 2nd 2009, due to a fall in visitor numbers, and the amount of money that would be needed to improve the parks facilities would just have been too much.
The Blackpool Pontin’s site is expected to redeveloped by former Pontin’s owner Trevor Hemmings, who still owns the freehold to the land.






















Thanks for looking
p.s Im very sorry but I dont know how to re size my pics, If anyone could help me on this I would really appreciate it! Thanks
