I remember seeing a film on Blackpool a few months ago as they were shooting from the front i noticed in the back ground the top of which looked like a castle i did`nt even know there was one there, i also noticed in the gallery section that Blackpool has an outside market near woolies & black pool tower, maybe i hav`nt noticed it as it might only be opened certain day`s.

Was the 'castle' not the Norbreck Castle Hotel on North Shore?
Can't help you re the market though - the only open market I can think of is down by Central Drive/Albert Road.

I`ve no idea mate all i remember was it was in the background of the documentary that was showing, as for the market i thought it was further towards the pleasure beech.

would that be BONNY STREET MARKET its been there alot of years and the castle would of been the hotel on north pier heading to cleveleys,
kind regards

Yes, that's the market I mean Beejay. Near the police station.

It could have either been a shot of Norbreck Castle (hotel) or the Castle (casino) The Castle Casino looks quite impressive, but not a very large building compaired to the Norbreck Castle Hotel and they are both on the same stretch of promenade,

Paul i remember the outside market i bought some cassette tapes from there years back but whether the market is still there i am not so sure, also we went to a cafe for a meal in Blackpool and they had one in Ulverston i cannot think of the name i think it has closed down now it began with a letter P my memory is like a sieve at times.

Hi Doris i remember the market but not where it is now, also remember the cafe but like you can`t remember the name.

When did the name change, I always remember it being called the Norbreck Hydro?
