Morecambe, Lancashire, England

We visited Morecambe in April 2006, a seaside resort that still has it's pleasures. Its on the edge of Morecombe Bay one of the biggest tidal estuaries in the the UK, famous for its wild birds. In an effort to brighten up the place there are several sculptures dotted here and there and to a very high standard. Eric Morecombe's statue is a tribute to one of Morecambe's most famous son's. Victoria Wood and Thora Hird, also famous comedians, come from here, what is it in Morecambe that creates this humour? A sort of old fashioned light comedy.

Along with many other seaside resorts it's a little fading, mostly because people jet off to other foreign climes. But Morecambe is still a charming place in the old tradition of the seaside and definitely worth a visit on a sunny day or just to fill the lungs with some fresh sea air.

 

Where is Morecambe? it's in the northwest of England, just a few miles from Lancaster. From the sea front across the bay one can see the Lake District on a clear day.

I would love to know more about the Polo Tower is there anyone that can help please? We enjoyed a few days in Morecambe during the 1/2 term holiday. Lovely walks along the promenade & a photo with Eric. Anon

Its a different generation that now roam the streets of the once very bright town. If you take away the things that are for the children, what have they left...? Most will resort to crime and soon find themselves taking drugs and most likely end up in prison. All this generates from them having nothing to do. Boredom.. There is simple nothing for them... Anon

I went to live in Morecambe as a young child during the war and left in 1953. During that time i went to junior school in Heysham, secondary school in Morecambe and started my further education in the art school in Lancaster. I have been back a few times but not for ages now, many years but I do have fond memories of the place and friends I had. It is so depressing to read the comments being made. It sounds as though some very bad decisions have been made over the years. Good Luck. Ken Roberts

I'm going to Morecambe in July, 07, to go down memory lane of my 5 years of evacuation there, (aged 3-8) from the bombs of London 1940-1945. Whatever might have happened to it since then, it will always hold a very special place in my heart. I stayed in the wonderful care of Mr. & Mrs. David Shaw and their son Nigel.
