Blackpool Central MPD
To the south of Blackpool Tower the course of the old line can still be seen if you know where to look. The old steam shed was just to the north of Blackpool football ground and for many years the site was used as a lorry and coach park but recently the multi-coloured housing scheme seen here has been built. To the right of the old formation at this point is Rigby Rd bus and tram depot. South of the shed, alongside the football ground and beyond, were the Bloomfield Rd carriage sidings, now covered by car parks. The bridge in the far distance marks the point where railway use resumes at Blackpool South station. The line to St. Annes swings right out of picture but the old Marton Line direct to Kirkham is now a link road to the M55 and can be made out curving left alongside a school playing field.
