As the wheels of progress keep turning, we have had to say goodbye to many favourites from shops to nightclubs. Here are 17 things you can no longer do in Blackpool:
1. You can't watch a film in the town centre
In the late 90s there were still two cinemas in Blackpool town centre. Sadly both closed in 1998.

2. Get a pick and mix from Woolworths
Sweets, CDs and kids clothes, there was something for everyone at Woolies. The retailer disappeared from the UK's high streets in January 2009.

3. Catch a bus from Blackpool bus station
In 2006 the bus station was earmarked for demolition as part of the 227 million redevelopment - the Talbot Gateway project - to revitalise the area.

4. Rent films from Blockbusters
Netwflix might be more convenient, but it certainly isn't as much fun as visiting a Blockbuster store to pick out the latest VHS release. The company is another victim of the internet.
