MORE......MORECAMBE

We're still in Morecambe. We're greeted by the town's most famous son.

The clock tower is also prominent on the sea front.

 A horse tram passes the clock tower.

The Tower and Promenade seen from Central Pier.

A more modern view of the beach - 2011.

The weather had turned in October 2021.

We can watch the dolphins at Marineland.....

......or take a trip on the boating lake.

Here's the Harbour Gardens, with the Midland Hotel as well.

The Midland Hotel was built to serve the Midland Railway's Morecambe station. Here's a look at the concourse.

The station building in 1981, before it closed.

Some DMUs at the old Morecambe station.

This collection of Airfix kits controlled everything.

The new station in 2011.

There was also a LNWR station in Morecambe.

Lancaster City Transport ran open-top buses along the seafront.

Stagecoach now run services in Morecambe. Three different colour schemes over the years.

Time for some beer! First stop, the Wetherspoons, named after Eric himself.

The Kings Arms overlooks the beach and is an early opener.

The New Inn was once a good boozer, but no longer has real ale.

The Palatine, near the Clock Tower. Lancaster Brewery beers are served.

The Royal, an excellent sea front pub, with good beers.

The Chieftain is where the locals go, with good reason.

Heading out of town, we come across the Morecambe Hotel. It seems to sell mainly Cross Bay beers. 

About a mile to the north is the suburb of Bare, where there's a great micropub.

That seems like a good place to conclude this post. The next one will feature camping coaches and a canal, plus plenty more.
