    I grew up near Burton as a kid I used to go to Morecambe all the time. My family moved to Canada in 74, when I was only 11, now I live near the rocky mountains. I forgot what a beautiful view and how it looked, thanks for the memories, it makes me think of the time I spent there with my Dad.

    Hi Tim, I’ve lived in Morecambe for 23 years, the platform which you thought was a train station is actually now used as a tourist information centre and is also used for live entertainment, when you enter the building you can see the old fittings and old ticket kiosk very interesting building

    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.

    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)!

    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.

    Excellent walk around. I must confess I don’t have fond memories of Morecambe; my sister went to uni in Lancaster and we visited morecambe a couple of times in the early 2000s. It was run down, tired and grim, with mudflats for a beach! Whilst they can’t do anything about the “beach”, it looks like the seafront has been regenerated - the midland hotel looks excellent! I also checked out the cafe on the stone jetty - it was a railway station until 1904 - you were right!

    For someone whose always been used to the east coast, this particular video makes a refreshing change. All I know of Morecambe, is that it is related in some way to Eric Morecambe, of Morecambe and Wise fame. Its your typical seaside resort that Tim enjoyed the culinary delights of. 😅 Cheers for such an interesting video! 👍

    Hi Tim, love your videos. We use them as a reference of where we may like to go during our travels to the UK from Australia. I must say that Morecambe was disappointingly overrated. We had an overnight stay on our way to Glasgow and found it to be frozen in time, the back streets were shabby and there was no holiday/seaside vibe. The sights you have focussed on were good, in particular the railway which we enjoyed. Thanks again.

    Love your channel and you guys but lots of stuff to mention on Morecambe! You can get a guide to take you across a safe passage across the dangerous quicksands in the bay. 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.
