Street Life event in Ashton-under-Lyne

A look at the Street Life event in Ashton-under-Lyne.

We attended the free Street Life event in Ashton-under-Lyne on Saturday and had a superb time.

It was the first time I've been INSIDE a DMC DeLorean!

The community event saw the town centre come alive with a real mix of pop culture events, activities and attractions!

There was a huge Star Wars AT-ST at the event!

I'm a BIG fan of pro-wrestling, but it was the first time I've seen a show live outdoors - and in the morning!

It'll be another new venue for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've played Puttstars Mini Golf at the Rochdale Riverside location.

Blockbuster Video in Ashton, Bristol

A look at a former Blockbuster Video store in Bristol.

The former video shop is now a gym 

We spotted another old Blockbuster while driving to the former store location in Filton, Bristol. This one was at Winterstoke Road in Ashton.

You can still make out the outline of the QuikDrop box at this location

I noticed the remains of a Blockbuster Video store while driving to Manchester in October 2019 and since then have found a few more signs of the brand on the high streets and retail parks of the UK.
