About

Common Edge is a residential neighbourhood in Blackpool, made up mainly of terraced and semi‑detached housing built in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Local shopping parades, a handful of pubs and takeaways and a primary school serve daily needs; community facilities are concentrated along the main road that runs through the area. Front gardens, narrow back lanes and short rows of council-built housing reflect the area's development pattern, and pockets of trees and small greens break the street line.

Public transport links provide regular bus services to Blackpool town centre and neighbouring suburbs, while road connections give straightforward access to employment areas in the borough. The district takes its name from former common land at the town’s edge, a reminder of how the town expanded in waves; that history is visible in property boundaries and in a cluster of allotment plots still cultivated by residents. Local groups organise occasional clean-ups and events that focus on practical improvements rather than large festivals.
