Birds eye view HD Video Morecambe Sea front..Heysham to Hest Bank (Bay No 1)

[@maxxbadge]

Great video many thanks. Great to see the old place I used to holiday at in the 70's, boy has it changed. 😉

[@clearair1327]

Sunning video, well done. It took me back to my childhood and I followed all my young footsteps. Some good changes, but lots of the old days now gone

[@steviespaind4307]

Oh....wow......speechless. That was beautifully done. I left Morecambe in 2005 after many happy, and not so happy, years. Yeah....wow. Thank you.

[@skycamvideo]

I moved here many years ago. I love the place. Glad you liked it.

[@Ash-ky8jo]

Amazing this, i lived in Morecambe and renovated a little flat when i had work in the Northwest to complete. Loved the place, warts and all. Has a lot of charm and the opportunities are endless. Regret selling my flat on Sandylands Promenade. I envy future generations who will have this footage, imagine having a comparable video from the 1950's via drone in HD. Wow.

[@dave0smeg]

Everything I loved about the town growing up has gone. The Pier. 2 Fun Fairs. Bubbles. The Dome. Sand on the beach. Even the stone Jetty and Happy Mount Park are just shaddows of what they once were.

[@skycamvideo]

dave0smeg yeah I know. tried my best with frontier land. did a video but it fell on deaf ears

[@georgekelly5233]

Good VIDEO THAT WAS""

[@Stu1919]

Ive got no idea what your looking at but i grew up there in the 60's and 70's and its way better than that now. Sand on the beaches??? what decade was that? theres sand there now and grass growning also where there was once rocks and masonary. Fair enough the piers have gone, and i wish they were stil there, but there wouldn't be any customers to keep them going. bubbles was a disgrace compared toThe Super Swimming Stadium. the 2nd largest pool in Europe and 130M long. The stone jetty has been transformed and looks great and Happy Mount Park hasn't changed at all except the pitch and put is now a mini assault course, and its full of people. Morecambe has come on in leaps and bounds. take off your rose tinted glasses and go and have another look. Anyone that says it was better before are delusional. im moving back to Morecambe and bringing my son and cant wait to go cycling down the prom with him. Brilliant video! Thank you.

@PhreshFunk the old bubbles swimming baths is at about 4.00 where the fair ground is in the video. Soon to be the site of Eden project.

[@T555PLH]

Wonderful. Evoked so many happy childhood memories of holidays in Morecambe 1960s. The Super Swimming Stadium was the best!

[@skycamvideo]

Yeah it's not a patch on what it once was now

[@ruthhargraves4500]

Great.. lovely to see spots I remembered. Happy Mount park was always a favourite. Thank you.

[@stevenequinepics]

Spent three days there last week, brilliant to see so much of the promenade that I walked, and walked, and walked along. Thank you so much for posting your video. Well done.

[@PixiesChannel12345]

Nice flight along the seafront with some fantastic views my friend.

[@cannonfodder6654]

The remains of the sea water pool at 1:41, used to play in there in a dingy during our summer holidays in 1978, 2 weeks of hot weather! We stayed in a self catering flat on Sandylands promenade if i recall. The place was so busy, there was a putting green just up the road, loads amusment arcades with space invaders and so on , a big open market, frontierland , a cinema (seen Jaws 2 there) , marine world and fish n chips at the end of the day in the flat! Great memories of when i was 12.

[@skycamvideo]

Pity it's mostly all gone now.

[@cannonfodder6654]

sky cam video yes it’s a shame , I think the cheap package holidays to Spain and so on killed the 2 week British seaside town holidays. I have always wanted to go back to see it on the odd weekend trip to Blackpool but my wife said it will spoil my memories as few people said it wasn’t the place it was. Still I have my memories !! Blackpool still gets very busy but again, not what it was.

[@margaretgray2324]

As true sand grown un ( as in born and bred in Morecambe ) it was great to see the old place from a different angle , and yes it has changed a lot as in both piers gone , I was there when the Central Pier collapsed in the storm , shame, but I still have the memories.

[@margaretgray2324]

Oh that's weird, someone with same name as me and connections with Morecambe came up on my feed as having commented on my comment, but nothing to do with me,

[@skycamvideo]

I love Morecambe. Moved here about 16 years ago and intend on spending rest of my life here.

[@gilliankarlsson8321]

A nostalgic trip for me. My grandparents lived near Morecambe at Bolton le Sands. It would be nice to go back sometime...

[@skycamvideo]

Yeah everybody is always welcome here at Morecambe.

I enjoyed the journey, done it a few times on foot but you don't get the same view!

[@egapnala65]

Just been watching a whole slew of Mitchell and Kenyon films they made in Morcambe c.1900 . Quite haunting to see all those presumably long gone people going about their lives back then and then jumping forward 116 years.

[@mickeymunkchunk4512]

I like Morecambe because it's not Blackpool, I use to go swimming in the Lido over in Grange, so sad to see it derelict now.

[@barefoottiger6063]

Thank you for filming and publishing all your amazing drone videos. My family and I love the Morecambe and Heysham coast but we live in east lancashire (near the border with West Yorkshire) so your videos give us wonderful entertainment when we can't be there in person. Many many thanks and please keep up the good work!

[@skycamvideo]

Barefoot Tiger no problem. It's great to know people enjoy them still. I've just recorded knott end further down the coast towards Fleetwood. I'll be uploading more soon but my drone may have a problem so may have to give it all up soon. Thanks for your lovely comment

[@neilbain8736]

Its amazing to see the changes between this and a 1901 film I found of the prom. It is far far more populous but there's less people about and the sea defences have really sprang up. You get a really good view of the and extent of how huge the bay is, and perhaps understand why it has such ferocious tides. Do we get to see the Eric Morecambe statue?

[@skycamvideo]

you can on this one done 4 years ago with an early drone...kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5XEYnh-mNOLjK-tou may also like this one of the stone jetty at Morecambekzbin.info/www/bejne/a5rcoJmijtplhZqdve done 100s of Morecambe and surrounding area...if you subscribe you will get to see more as I upload them...thanks for your comment Neil

[@neilbain8736]

@@egapnala65 I think it was. They're well preserved and excellent watching.

[@parkzoneradian]

I used to like flying along here when I had my Microlight, though I had a bit more in the way of altitude and the pleasant background music was absent. (Very healthy engine noise was a good substitute).

Thanks for sharing this, i left Morecambe in 1990, I use to have a guest house in Chatsworth Rd, haven't been back since. My god, I didn't recognise the place from this video. Whats happened to Frontierland and where The Grosvenor Hotel. Next your going to tell me that The Devonshire Club Syd Yoreths snooker hall has gone.............

Hi Simon...glad you enjoyed my video...Its changing a lot nowadays...since I recorded this the Ranch house got burned down but it was closed anyway....Looks like they have just started on the land at the old frontier land but still nothing at the Broadway hotel

What is/was the semi submerged in the water kind of square structure early on it the film?

[@skycamvideo]

It's what used to be a pool. Long since forgotten and left to get filled in by the incoming tide.

[@fasthracing]

@@skycamvideo Thanks for the info. Guess would of been some kind of sea water swimming pool? Wonder when it stopped being used?

[@skycamvideo]

No idea. It's a job for Google

[@allandesoer7672]

@@skycamvideo There used to be another one farther up the coast but a bit smaller, I learnt to swim there, accidentally, the tide was covering the pool wall and I ran off the edge into the sea. I would be about 6 at the time late 50's

I would like to know more before you do and also see some of your recent videos first. thanks

iam a music producer i have an artist who wants me to put together a video when he has a song i will be filming in lancaster on the quay,castle and down the lune i just think sky view of parts of were i will be filming would be a great intro

[@skycamvideo]

+RaGe Music I have just recorded lancaster castle etc so maybe hold off for a couple of days . before you produce it I would like to see what parts you have used etc. please note though all these videos have been compressed due to KZbin so aren't as good as original. OK to use on KZbin but a bit blocky on big screen. just let me know when etc. I could record you fresh video when you are filming which may be better. I can get you shots you need that way and you would have FULL HD for your video. I'm just editing the castle one now. email me on [e-mail] to discuss.

[@RagePromotionz2023]

thanks i will email when i have everything in place love the vids keep up the great work you do

[@MrHeesbeen]

I went to Morecambe once, to see the illuminations. They were wonderful. The lights went from red, to red and amber, to green, back to amber and ending up back at red. then the whole cycle began again. If anyone ever gets bored watching paint dry and fancy something slightly more exotic, you really must try Morecambe illuminations. Joking apart, It is a scandal that the place has been allowed to go to rack and ruin over the years. It was never as good as Blackpool, but it was an alternative for those wanting less tat and less `in your face` entertainment. There is nothing of value now apart from the view and the Eric Morecambe statue and a seaside resort needs more to entertain a family group. There is no end of pier show (because there is no pier), no large fairground or theme park (since Blobbyland finished) and go inland one block from the promenade and it is so scruffy and run down, it contrasts greatly with the prom, which is a pleasant place. Lancaster Council should be ashamed in allowing Morecambe to decline as much as it has. They happily take money from the residents, it is now time to give more of it back and spend it from whence it came.

[@skycamvideo]

Thanks for your comment ....
