Hawes Side

About

Hawes Side sits in the southern part of Blackpool, inland from the seafront and close to the borough boundary with Wyre. The area is largely residential, with a mix of older terraced streets and post-war housing. Hawes Side Road provides a central route through the neighbourhood and hosts a parade of local shops, a primary school and community facilities used by residents. Bus services link the area with Blackpool town centre and neighbouring suburbs, and there are small pockets of open space and sports pitches scattered among the streets.

Everyday life in Hawes Side is shaped by those local amenities and parish- and community-run activities; a community centre and a primary school act as meeting points for families and groups. Small convenience stores and a few longstanding pubs serve the local catchment rather than visitors. The pattern of back-to-back terraces giving way to larger semi-detached roads is visible if you walk from the shop parade along Hawes Side Road toward the eastern edge, where housing density thins and allotments and playing fields appear.
