Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 08/08/2026Back on the Explore page on Flickr this morning, I've been shooting this row of buildings for many years, documenting their slow decline. While the hotel no longer takes bookings, you can still read the reviews on Trip Adviser, which do raise an eyebrow to say the least 😁✌️ flic.kr/p/2stJP5Kflic.krBlackpool... 081
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 18/04/2026Still posting on Flickr (where many of us used to hang out pre Insta/Twitter etc), still love hitting the Explore page. 😁✌️ flic.kr/p/2s7SgxY 080
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 01/04/2026Hey many thanks, I was kind of surprised, really like how they came out and when viewed on a phone almost indistinguishable to a much more recent camera 😁✌️ 000
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 01/04/2026So sorry I missed this, many thanks. I think early on I knew I wasn't going to people photographer, and to be honest I do spend time in places generally away from pedestrian traffic. It eventually became a bit of a thing, and I increasingly found myself waiting for the coast to clear 😁✌️ 000
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 28/03/2026Feeling inspired after looking at vintage digital camera photos in a Reddit group, I dusted off my tiny Canon Ixus 950 (it's the smallest camera I have ever owned - tiny) from 2007. I installed the open source firmware CHDK, to enable it to give up it's Raw files. It's now going everywhere with me! 1140
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 01/02/2026Excursion....I recall as a kid, going on holiday with parents and then visiting somewhere while on holiday. Now older, taking time to do the same, but for slightly different reasons. Some photographs from central Florida. #photography #streetphotography #urbanphotography 0150
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 14/12/2025Thanks for sharing the posts too, very much appreciated 😁🙏 010
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 30/11/2025Way before I really started to embrace the urban photography scene, my subject matter was the beach especially sunsets and low tide at dusk.....one of the benefits living on the west coast 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #sunset #britishseaside #beach #ukseaside #skyphotography 0493
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 22/11/2025Many thanks indeed, I forget how the tones and colours can be so great from film photography, I do keep meaning to take the film cameras out with me. These were taken in the summer, lovely warm diffused light 😁 Have a great weekend ✌️🙏🙏😁 000
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 22/11/2025Many thanks Carl, I do keep meaning to take the film cameras out with me again 😁 Have a great weekend ✌️🙏 010
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 22/11/2025Some more film photographs, taken over a decade ago in Blackpool, some of these spaces no longer exist, but some are still there 😁✌️I usually try to avoid people in the frame, but the pigeons are an occupational hazard 😁🐦 #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #britishseaside #filmcamera 4423
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 30/10/2025Adding a new roll of film and taking the first frame, was often done in the kitchen, this in turn led to a series of domestic kitchen photographs, revolving around food and drink - all shot on film 😁🍲✌️ #photography #filmcamera #sooc #foodphotography 3410
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 07/09/2025Also Blackpool.....I keep thinking about a collection of non-street work, being west facing the sunsets are amazing at times, there is also some very fierce weather too, thankfully not too often 😁✌️ #Blackpool #naturephotography #britishseaside #beachphotography #sunset #skyporn #skyphotography 3776
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 02/08/2025Many thanks, really go lucky with that one 😁✌️ Apologies for the late reply too 😬 000
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 19/07/2025The end of the affair, or at least the end of capturing a favourite of many photographers visiting the resort wanting a break from the more traditional views. Some shots of the brutalist complex taken over the years including it's last days. #streetphotography #urbanphotography #Blackpool 3333
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 02/07/2025Thank you, I'm forever reminding myself to take the film cameras out more frequently ✌️😁🙏🙏 110
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 15/06/2025Occasionally I do take film photographs, that said it really isn't that much of late. These shots are from over a decade ago, and remain some of my favourite photographs, taken with one of my many film cameras...all shot in #Blackpool ✌️😁 #photography #filmcamera #streetphotography #urbanphotography 2493
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 02/06/2025Thank you, very grateful and much appreciated ✌️😁🙏🙏 020
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 01/06/2025Thank you, so very grateful and much appreciated, have a great week ✌️😁🙏🙏 000
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 31/05/2025Hahaha, I tend to like the 'people less', almost liminal, feel to scenes. I'm in genuine awe of street photographers who capture people, it's a skill on its very own ✌️😁🙏🙏 000
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 31/05/2025It was fully candid, in this shot I'm right at the other end of the bar, it helped that they were lost in their own post show exhausted world 😁✌️🙏 120
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 05/05/2025Street corners, one of my favourite approaches to capturing #Blackpool. It's something that I kind of fell into as opposed to consciously setting off to do. Perhaps an element of anticipation, expectation or the moment held.... maybe just because it looked OK 😁✌️ #streetphotography #britishseaside 5863
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 02/05/2025@manicspider.bsky.social many thanks for sharing 😁✌️🙏🙏 020

Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 27/04/2025So very grateful, thank you, and apologies for my late reply, still trying to get the hang of this platform 🙄 I find myself replying to the wrong messages and even sometimes my own 😂 010
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 27/04/2025Absolutely, they can date a photo in an instant 😁✌️ 010
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 27/04/2025Thank you, very grateful and much appreciated 😁✌️🙏🙏 110
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 27/04/2025Ahhhh this was after the event, pure coincidence that I bumped into these two, I'd been out taking street photographs and they were eating at the same place I was at 😁✌️ But yes, from what I've seen, amazing skill and talent by the dancers 😁✌️ 000
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 23/04/2025Many thanks, they had been at a dance competition hence the glitter etc. One of those one off never to be repeated opportunities 😁✌️ 110
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 21/04/2025@noodlepie.com thanks for the repost Graham, much appreciated mate ✌️😁🙏 120
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 21/04/2025Cheers Olly, for me there is a bit of nostalgia tied up in these places, plus I have a soft spot for empty venues, especially those that are usually busy 😁✌️ 010
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 21/04/2025Inside one of the many fast food places and cafés across the town, I think the chair colour is 'burger bar blue' ✌️💙😁 I could photograoh these places all day long! #streetphotography #Blackpool #urbanphotography #britishseaside #fastfood 4812
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 02/03/2025Many thanks Michael, this is a crop they are a bit further away, the light and the backdrop really add to the atmosphere, the two people in the scene, I think, had been at a dance/cheer competition so had hair and makeup in a particular way too 😁✌️ 000
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 01/03/2025We often talk about opportunities presenting themselves. After wandering around taking photos of the side streets, stopping to get a drink before heading home and looking up after sitting down in a popular fast food chain... #photography #peopleinthestreet #streetphotography #documentingbritain 6807
Nick Barkworth @nickbarkworth.com · 27/02/2025Being on the west coast, Blackpool is blessed with great light many evenings ✌️😃 #sunset #streetphotography #photography #urban #Blackpool #brutalist 2461
