For those of you that know me quite well - I have an interest in the paranormal and have a rather super friend called Stephen Mercer - he runs the following 

Ghost walks and tours and much more well I was lucky enough to be able to attend the following on Thursday evening  


Above is a very old photo of Blackpool Grammer School 




Just on case you wanted an even older map ! See if you can spot where the site is ?! 

Winstone House, part of The Citadel building in Blackpool and once home to the Grammar School is the latest location for our eerie events. You will be able to explore and investigate some of this amazing building including some of the old school rooms and offices as well as carry out some experiments including dowsing, Ouija sessions and more! All proceeds will to to charities supported by Horizon.

The service is confidential, non-judgemental and completely free of charge to anybody living in Blackpool who needs support to overcome their issues. Horizon operates out of four buildings in Blackpool: Harrowside, 102 Dickson Road, Winstone House and 258 Church Street. Anybody wanting to access support from Horizon can just turn up at 102 Dickson Rd or telephone 01253 205156.


Well I got off to a good start - took my camera and forgot to pop in  the SD card - Doh !
 So had to pop home again much to the delight of my confused dog Luna ...

Back again at the location - which I spent three hours at ( wasn't tired at work the next day honest ! )

Below I will share some of the photo's that were taken on the night ...







So ladies and gents will you dare to attend on the next adventure ...

Let us explore the history of Blackpool's Palatine Buildings! A prime corner site on Blackpool’s Central Promenade is undergoing a complete reconstruction to create the resort’s first five star hotel and a museum detailing Blackpool’s rich history.   1866 - Palatine Buildings, Palatine Hotel, and The Palatine Buildings were constructed onthe Promenade this year, just to the south of the Royal Hotel, and in 1879, the 120-bed Palatine Hotel wasbuilt next door, on the corner with Bank Hey Street. Queens Terrace – a row of houses built in 1848 – was demolished to make way. The Palatine had its own ballroom, lounge bar, new lounge, and dining saloon. For a short time, it was known as the Palatine Family and Commercial Hotel, but by 1883, had reverted to its shorter name. Queen’s Terrace and the Royal Hotel stables block had stood on the site previously.                                                           merge image by Andrew Ayre By the 1940s, th

The hospital housed the Fylde Coast's Dermatology Services and had a Renal Dialysis Unit, a Rehabilitation Ward, Dermatology Ward and a Clinical Skills Laboratory on site. 1891 Blackpool Isolation Hospital was opened on Devonshire Road on the 7 th of July. This original sanatorium, behind the cemetery, was demolished in 1906 after being kept briefly for smallpox isolation. The new hospital was formally opened on the 26 th of March on the opposite corner of Devonshire Road and Talbot Road. Still called Blackpool Sanatorium, it soon became known as Devonshire Road Infectious Diseases Hospital until 1954; locals knew it as “The Fever Hospital”.
