Morecambe's famous son - with a young admirer!
Some rather older admirers!
I wonder if they have 'a little urn'!
An impressive building on the promenade (Maybe a viewer can enlighten me as to what it is - or was.)
The recently restored Midland Hotel - an fine example of 'art deco' architecture
A sculpture of cormorants(?) on the jetty
The lighthouse and cafe at the end of the jetty
My adopted home town. The building you asked about is The Winter Gardens, which was a well known entertainment venue until closure. It hosted many top showbiz names of the time. It is now owned by the Friends of the Winter Gardens who have for many years been trying to restore it to its former grand state. Various events are held within the building. You can have a look in on most Summer Sundays.
ReplyDeleteA super set of images, I'm very fond of art deco so enjoyed seeing the hotel. Not so keen on Cormorants (being an angler) but they've made an impressive sculpture. Nice to see people still remembering Eric Morecombe. Yes, I've enjoyed these images Anthony.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed these images,a trip down memory lane for me.
