The Wilko store with a multi-storey car park above is on the corner of Talbot Road and Dickson Road. Outside in Talbot Road the recently laid tracks for the extension to Blackpool North Station currently terminate. The store's site is where the new tramway terminus will be built. This will be the first extension to the tramway since the Promenade line was extended to Starr Gate in 1926. After that all the inland routes in Blackpool were gradually closed in the 1930's and 1960's. This extension will mean that once again there will be a street-running section of line running in the town centre. Image
