Photographic Print. Lucky Star Amusement Arcade façade neon illuminations at night. It was in Blackpool.
This was used as a dramatic moody backdrop in the TV series Blackpool starring David Tennant. I cannot believe Blackpool council have allowed this classic amusement arcade façade to be destroyed in 2014 to make way for....another Wetherspoons pub when there were already 3 in Blackpool. If it had to be a pub they could have kept the façade, or its Las Vegas style illuminated huge star, signage and stars would have looked cool emblazoned across the bar building. Was it not in enough publicity to convince them to keep it, that Lucky Star Amusements façade starred in the award winning BBC hit tv series Blackpool with David Tennant and David Morrisey and in a pop video with Robbie Williams ?? Planners said in a report to the committee, there "is the potential to have a more interesting and imaginative facade, representing the vibrancy of the resort". That describes the façade as it was. How could the planners not know how fashionable, desirable and expensive these vintage cut out metal letters are ? In heritage terms, for Blackpool, it was the equivalent of the 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign. It should have been listed and protected from bland commercialism.
