Belle Vue of Blackpool
This empty car showroom holds a lot of memories to me. I lived opposite this place for the first 17 years of my life (my house was facing where the Clio is parked). It's been a car showroom for many years, longer than I can think and long before my time. I spent many, many happy hours in this place between the ages of 9 and 15 (1999-2005), at weekends, after school and in school holidays, up close to and getting rides in some lovely cars. (things like 80s/90s Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Rolls Royce, Bentley etc, all reasonably newer cars then than they are now). I was probably more of a nuisance than a help to the many people who ran and worked at this place in that time, but I still see many of them on a semi-regular basis today, and call them all friends.
I was saddened today to see a sign inside the showroom stating that it is soon to be a letting agents. I learnt the majority of my knowledge of the motor trade hanging around here, and I seriously doubt I'd be where I am today without this place, and the people it's connected me with. End of an era.
