“So we need to know what is going on. Also our building has some history to it. Many people will have known it as the Picador Club, and I’m led to believe at one time The Beatles were all set to sign a contract to play there.“It fell through, but other stars such as Jethro Tull and Lulu performed there. So it’s a bit of Blackpool history which is also going to be lost.”
Another resident, who also asked not to be named, said some residents had lived in Henry Street their whole life. She said: “This was my mum’s house and she left it to me so it means something. If we have to go, we have to go. But it’s all the uncertainty which is very upsetting for people.”in December said a planning application for the new East Stand was due early in 2023.
