Growing up in Blackpool I only ever lived on Newton Drive. I left to go to Uni and haven 't lived in Blackpool since.
My Dad was born and died on Newton Drive.
 
Never lived in Blackpool but spent quite a few nights at Seafield Road and Hazel Grove with my then girlfriend (now wife).
 
Chesterfield Road, Edelston Road, Hastings Ave, Harcourt Road, Ambleside Road, Summerville Ave Staining, Moor Park Court, Upwood Close, Highcroft Ave, Anchorsholme Lane, Fir Grove, Herne Hill Lodge Lytham Road.
 
Highcross Road, Poulton, Arthurs Lane, Hambleton, Lynwood Drive, Stalmine & Elvaston Road, Carleton . . . left in 1985
 
Lived with my nan in Anchorsholme for a bit but not Blackpool otherwise. Nearest I got was Fleetwood. (right in middle on London Road)
 
Two months on Claremont Road after being born then Waterloo Road until I was 17. Moved to St Annes for a few months before coming back to Waterloo Road. Bought my first House on Harley Road near Stanley Park at around 24 and lived there for about 4 Years before moving briefly to South Hey at Anchorsholme. For the last 17 Years I've lived at 4 different locations in St Annes and Lytham and currently in Ansdell which I love.

I was brought up in Thornton and have never lived in Blackpool. I haven't lived on the Fylde coast since 1980. My grandmother and her parents lived in Blackpool in the Revoe area (Freckleton St and Ibbotson St). I have a faded photo of her and her classmates in a classroom at Revoe School, taken about 1906, just a few years after the school opened. When my great grandmother moved from Sale in the late1880s she worked for the Governess of Claremont School for Girls. She lived in Stanley Villas in the area

I know someone who lived on Banks Street (circa 1967/68) His parents had a B&B.
However his surname wasn’t Wizaard!

I had a friend that lived at No 6 I think. He went to Highfield, I went to Arnold. He would have been a friend round about 1970/71. I can't remember his name.

So that would be either Keith or Colin Almond
The year you've given would make me 7 or 8
That'd make Colin around 10 and Keith 13
Colin's still in Blackpool, Keith has emigrated to Canada

Sorry, I've given you a completely bum stear about the street but in doing so you've made a brilliant connection. Colin was in my very first class at Roseacre infants and sat opposite me. Keith was a year above and, I may be wrong, went to Arnold? If so, he was a year above me there. I remember meeting up with them on Highfield Road on winter mornings to get the school bus. Bloody hell!
