Hiya Tim, great vid. I'm from the area, just thought I should tell you - the building early on that you thought was the train station - isn't anymore. It was once, but shut down in the 90s. It's a pub and music venue these days. The actual train station is a 5-10 minute walk from there, and unfortunately is much less grand lol.

There was a fantastic pier that was ignored and eventually after a number of fires was demolished. There were the Illuminations in the Fall. And marvellous old train station that was replaced with a shelter away from the sea front. The old station has others have said is now a pub. The Winter Gardens continues to struggle. The pool was replaced with nothing. Thankfully the Midland Hotel was saved. I do miss Morecambe and it has been 10 years since I was able to visit. I did enjoy your video and I hope Morecambe comes back. The front is looking very nice. Morecambe Bay shrimps are a favourite of mine. Take care and thanks for sharing.

The old outdoor lido, when you see pictures of it, was the largest one in Europe. It now houses a travelling funfair for the summer season. Back in as late as the 90's Morecambe was a hugely popular holiday resort, with a funfair and numerous arcades and tourist attractions. You can thank Lancashire County Council for turning Morecambe in to a ghost town. There are plans to turn the seafront in to a new Eden Project. However, will a huge greenhouse bring the tourists back?

You can thank Lancaster City Council for turning Morecambe into the downtrodden craphole it is today. Starting in the 80s when they thought it would be a great idea to dump problem families, people with drug problems, ex prisoners (and basically anyone they didn't want housed in Lancaster) in Morecambe. They accelerated this process into the 90s and 00s and Morecambe is now paying the price. I've heard LCCs/Sercos recent initiative is to dump thousands of asylum seekers in hotels dotted around Morecambe. Should improve things (NOT)!

Frontierland was the sister park of Blackpool Pleasure Beach (also owned by the Thompsons) which 'died' in about 2000 and the land has never been reused and you can still see the watershute evidence! It is very missed. Near the pier is the soon to be built Eden Project North. Happy Mount Park at the start of the seafront is also iconic.

The cafe at the end of the stone jetty looks like a railway station because it was built by a railway company for passengers to board steamers for the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland. It was a small zoo for a short time in the 1970s - I know that because I went fishing from that jetty many times and went bait digging on the mud when the tide was out. n the 1960s there was Marineland at the entrance to the jetty, where you could see performing dolphins and sealions but tastes changed and there was storm damage - so no more Marineland.

Hi Tim. Liked Morecambe although it doesn't seem to have much going but I would go just to see Eric Morecambe name sake.

Also, Morcambe Bay is in Morcambe (a League 1 football team). The town of Morcambe and the city of Lancaster are kind of joined up but they are distinct places!

You should check out a design company called Why Not Associates who did the Eric Morecambe tribute along with the Comedy Carpet in Blackpool......They have done some other great typographic pieces like the pathway as you enter the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Cursing Stone in Carlisle

Great video but it's a shame you visited on an overcast day, when you can't see the magnificent world class views across the bay. Usually, you can see across to the coastal villages of the Furness peninsula, with the big old Lake District mountains in the background. By far the best thing about Morecambe is our incredible views across to Lakeland, well worth a visit just for the views.

The description is slightly wrong. Lancaster is right next to Morecambe, Morecambe isn't IN Lancaster. I live in Lancaster and it takes about 30- 45minutes to walk there

As a morecamber it really shows how outsiders see its beauty...but I'm privileged enough to live where you started, so my view is constantly terrific or terrifying 🤣🤣🤣

Just started watching your videos, great stuff, you should visit some Scottish Seaside resorts, my personal favourites are Kirkcaldy, Leven, Arbroath, Ayr, Glospie, Nairn, Lossiemouth, Portobello and Broughty Ferry, if you want more Highland Scenery, Aviemore, Pitlochry and Fort William are great inland resorts
