Blackpool’s West Street Car Park, built in 1938, was one of the UK’s earliest multi-storey car parks, designed to accommodate the growing number of visitors arriving by car. The facility offers 187 spaces, divided into 177 car spaces, 9 blue badge spaces, a free motorcycle bay, and an electric vehicle charging bay (32amp, 22kW), with charging priced at £1 per hour in addition to the parking fee. The car park has a height restriction of 2 meters (6’6″).
For those using a satnav, the postcode for the car park is FY1 1HA. Parking charges apply at all times, with payment available through five pay-and-display machines that accept credit and debit cards, coins, and contactless payments. Note that correct change is required if paying by coins, as no change is provided. Blue badge holders can enjoy a three-hour free parking concession, provided they display a clock showing their arrival time.
The recent renovation thoughout offers wide spaces for easy parking of modern vehicles.
Parking on the top floor also gives quite a view of the tower and the rest of the town centre.
