Crazy Golf course at Gynn Gardens in Blackpool

A look at a lost crazy golf course in Blackpool, Lancashire.

We visited the crazy golf course at Gynn Gardens in Blackpool back in September 2009.

It's now a lost course as it was removed at some point between October 2009 and November 2012.

Do you have memories of playing the crazy golf course at Gynn Gardens?

It was of a similar design to the crazy golf course nearby on Princess Parade and in the town's Stanley Park.

Gynn Gardens was also home to a grass putting miniature golf course.

A look at the former Odeon Cinema in Chorley, Lancashire.

The Art Deco building opened in February 1938.

Sadly the building was demolished and there is now a car park where it once stood.

Urban exploration - Blockbuster Video Express in Colne, Lancashire

A look at the old Blockbuster Video Express store in Colne, Lancashire.

We checked out the former Blockbuster Video Express store in Colne, Lancashire during the pandemic.

Blockbuster ceased operations in the UK in December 2013 and so it was interesting to see there were still signs of the brand at the old shop.

The inside of the abandoned store had a haunting look to it.

The shop unit is currently used as a sandwich shop, but there is still one of the old Blockbuster Video Express signs hanging outside.

Minigolf Postcard - 425 Crazy Golf Course and Pier, Fleetwood. THE PHOTOGRAPHIC GREETING CARD CO. LTD. LONDON. Posted 24 May 1966

We've played minigolf in Fleetwood on our Crazy World of Minigolf, at the also now long since demolished Crazy Golf course at Marine Gardens. We've also visited the course between the Pitch & Putt and the beach. That particular course has recently been refurbished and reopened, and is one we need to play.

Crazy Golf course opening in Fleetwood

A Crazy Golf course is opening at the MiniLinks in Fleetwood, Lancashire.

MiniLinks has moved and is re-opening the Pitch & Putt miniature golf layout on the seafront in Fleetwood on the Fylde coast.

We've played MiniLinks courses before - including Mini Majors competitions - and are looking forward to checking out the two new MiniLinks courses at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood.

As well as the larger miniature golf layouts, the team at MiniLinks are working on a Crazy Golf course.

Visit the MiniLinks website for more information about the courses and the plans the team there have for events.

We've visited the Fylde coast a fair bit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour over the years and have visited several minigolf courses in Fleetwood. The Crazy Golf course at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood had been abandoned for quite a long time and we'd never seen it open since we've been visiting. We hadn't played the Pitch & Putt there either - it looks like a BIG and long miniature golf course! There used to be a Crazy Golf course at the nearby Marine Hall Gardens in Fleetwood too, we played that way back in 2009.
