Thanks for the comprehensive guide Scutty, sounds absolutely grim, I have had some good trips to Blackpool in the past but that was a long time ago, really seems to have gone downhill, looks like I will need to get my dancing shoes on instead and see how I get on!

Thought it was worth summarising the state of the various walk-in brothels and parlours around the Cookson St "Golden Triangle".
Basically I've updated a list from two years ago, as you can see a lot of changes.
There are a couple of Chinese parlours not listed, but they're all away from the town centre so not really relevant to this thread
Current status
Brooklyns - previously under same management as Secrets, both seem to have changed hands ~Sept 2022. No online presence at all for Brooklyns, may not even be open.
Natalies Sauna - fucking death trap, avoid. Same applies to ChloeXrated in the same building
Frenchies Sauna - next door but one overspill site to Natalies, another death trap, rarely open
Thai Paradise - still open, offers assisted jacuzzi baths
Thai Orchid Therapy - changed hands ~ 2 years ago since when standards (including whether it's even open) have become hit and miss. Both websites have gone
"Massage Blackpool" - this is the infamous 5 Charles St. The owner is awaiting trial for trafficking and related charges. Occasionally open with a couple of girls belonging to another pimp who's also awaiting trial on prostitution-related charges. Website has gone
Secrets - changed ownership late 2022, seems now independent of Brooklyns. Always used to be a place to find trafficked Czech/Polish and other EE girls - couriered to and from the place by their controlling pimp "boyfriends"
Website still live but completely redesigned
Babylon - believed closed, scheduled for demolition
10 King St "Jasmines" - bulldozers clearing the site now
Malibu - derelict for 4+ years
sites not in the earlier list
External Link/Members Only - typical Thai girl-of-the-week place
U Sabai, Birley St - changed hands six weeks ago, what was a legit site is now more interesting . Not in the Golden Triangle, but close
