28 March 2010 - Morecambe

A breezy walk along the sea front of the popular Lancashire resort.

The view across Morecambe Bay to the Lakes. This guide to the peaks was not here last time we visited.

A permanent memorial to the legendary Eric (Bartholemew)Morecambe who was born in the town.

Looking north along the sea front.

The recently restored Midland Hotel.

The stone jetty

This is the old promenade railway station that is sadly no longer served by the rail network

Read the plaque below for the history of the Art Deco Midland Hotel.

The main entrance to the hotel. A very welcome escape from the cold wind. They serve a very nice cup of coffee with nice views across the bay.

This shot is looking up the centre of the main staircase.

This is a close up of the painting on the ceiling above the staircase.

Heading back along the sea front to where we parked the car. The building here is the Morecambe Bay Yacht Race office.
