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 \u00a31 per hour in addition to the parking fee.

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.
