Blackpool Area, where to live?

[Lola]

We live in Blackpool in a semi rural area. Lytham is great and had a good social life but it is relatively expensive. People prefer different areas, for instance I don’t like the North Area much although I have lived there years ago. I would however ignore Central completely and also any of the holiday accommodation areas.

I live 4 miles outside Blackpool, so I would go for, Lytham St.Annes
Anchorsholme
Thornton Cleveleys
Poulton le Fylde

South shore isn't Lytham St.Annes. South shore is where the Pleasure Beach is situated. People who live in Lytham don't like to be lumped with St.Annes ,as it is 2 different areas that are next to each other. Lytham being the more up market of the two.

Where will your daughter be working? I’ve live rural about 15 miles from Blackpool and seen Blackpool change greatly over the years. Happy to help in any way I can

A colleague of mine lives in Poulton le fylde.. I think that’s meant to be a nice area

Poulton’s lovely, and good transport links too if reliant on this.

It does depend on whereabouts she will be working as Blackpool is spread along the coast, so North or South ease of transport would be worth considering. There is a map of local bus routes on line

Thank you everyone. She will be working for the Council so I assume they have a building somewhere. She will have a car as she needs it for her job. I’m excited for her and trying not to stress too much about her being so far away.

Is the craft shop that did cross stitch things still at Marsh Mill? I used to take my mum there years ago. Happy times.

My husband’s sister and brother in law lived in Lytham and always told us it was a separate area from St Anne’s
They lived in a nice area of Lytham which I think wasn’t far from a windmill
