One reader commented: "Whatever that black glass monstrosity they built where the old Palace bridge was. It already looks run down and constantly dirty, who actually thought it was a good idea to have a black building facing the sea?" Another agreed: "That awful Spyglass black glass building on the prom , constantly looks FILTHY. The design with all the black an tinted glass does not work with all the wind and rain" Photo: Google

Central Drive came up time and time again. Readers didn't specifically mention buildings but they believed the area was in need of attention. One commented: "All of Central Drive. It’s derelict and run down and just horrible down that way. Another agreed: "The whole of Central Drive is just an embarrassment, it makes me ashamed to live in Blackpool. The council need to stop thinking of visitors and think of residents" Photo: Google
