Morecambe town centre - June 2023 

Had some great times in morecambe great video

I was born in morecambe went to school there left years ago the place was busy Chrystal Ts. DMC music store queen street and what happened to the big risen ramped display outside samuels in the square so much of the shopping street gone such a shame

I think the council needs to do a national marketing advert campaign to get visitors to visit. You can invest in shop buildings, but if people do not know where and what Morecambe does, they won't go. It happened with Rhyl in Wales, which was very popular and is now a quiet place. Morecambe does so many great events shame it is not recognised, more better than our areas

Same all over Britain now !!! Everyone wanted them nice out of town retail parks didnt they !!! Hows that working out ? I have very fond memories of Morecambe. As a child we holidayed there every year. It had 2 long piers with everything on them. It had 2 fairgrounds. The pleasureland on the front and another behind the winter gardens. Wow it was an awesome place brings me happy memories. Shame now these coastal towns full of the drug addled underclass ! The no hopers, unworkables ! We certainly took the Great away from Britain didnt we !!!

Very interesting video. I lived at Scale Hall in the 1960s and used to get taken to Morecambe very often. It was always best if we caught the train from Scale Hall station because that meant we were going straight to the beach. If it was the bus then it was a walk down Euston Rd from the bus station for my mother to do shopping with the hope of going to the beach afterwards. There was no Arndale centre then and too many shops for my mother to browse! A friend's father had a stall on the market which was near the bus station selling suiting material which he bought in Bradford. He also had a small holding on Morecambe Rd from which he sold salad stuff to the hotels in Morecambe, principally The Kings Arms Why did plonking an Arndale centre in the middle of towns always seem to mark the beginning of the end for them?

The pub at top of Queen Street was paches then barrock then the queen's and is now in a right state.

They made a big mistake when they did away with Frontierland ,it was great for the kiddies.

Loved ur tour round morcambe City centre and arndale shopping centre which I visited many times many moons ago, I always used to go to an ice cream place at one entrance which was opposite a tesco,s, Happy days, best wishes ❤.

I love the prom too but its sad to see the rest of the town the way it is.

the old railings (blue)are beautiful and a part of history does anyone look after them as ive noticed lot of rust lately..this should be preserved surely

I'm 65 now. Good to hear that there is some investment going to get pumped into morecambe the 60's and 70s were excellent times, so much to do, not like now so sad ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So last week me n wife had a drive out to morecambe. Not been anywhere near for years. Wow that isnt the morecambe i remember. Walking through the arndale center n it was like being an extra in a zombie film !!! Seafront shops boarded up, dog shit all along the prom, spose the prom highlight these days is the LIDL !!! Had to see it for myself after watching this vid, so thank you.

Palatine that’s my cousin bar

So sad such happy memories of Morecambe back in the 1970s . And Heysham Head back in the 1970s.. Happy Mount Park. The lights almost as good as Blackpool. The piers . Would love to turn the clocks back

My dad lived in Morecambe for thirty years. We would visit with the kids and the highlight, apart from seeing grandad, was the fair! Morecambe was killed off when the fair closed down. The promenade is lovely but everything else is just awful. We last went to Morecambe three years ago and stayed for the weekend. The town is dreadful. The people have changed. Dog friendly? Nah …. And the cafe’s only take cash! Pinning hopes on the new Eden Project won’t bring the punters in. It’s a shame but the Golden Goose (the fair) has gone and so has the public. That was our last visit.

Love the vid but you went right past the Vic without mentioning it ,it was without doubt the best pub in Morecambe (IMO) 😉

Mia Italia that you passed that also owns the ice-cream shop is my fave restaurant of all time I am overdue going deffo booking a table when i come down. There used to be a wee hornby shop on that street that Brandon every year would get a model train from it was a cute wee shop. oooooo yeah Nick is doing brilliant those windows look amazing.

Thank you for the tour! So many closed shops now in lots of towns in the UK. Same where I live. It's very sad x

There’s a pots pie shop up on bowerham rd near the post office and spar shop 👍👍…

I remember when slaters had a prize bingo on queen street

Thank you for filming. The town that I live in is the same. So sad to see it so run down.

love an authentic foot tour, definitely felt like we were there! yeah sad in the Midlands how many empty shops there are, noone can afford the rent can they? i much prefer a high street rather than online as im an impulse buyer xxxx

does morecambe still have a market place

Your are such a nice couple. I watch "the Bay" and can only recognize "The Prom" Love fra Denmark ☺

Oh I miss coming to Morecambe 😢

Sams was a great fish and chip shop. It wasn’t “ closed down “ it closed because of personal reasons. Morecambe is my home town. Watch the house price s rise when the Eden project comes to the seafront. The council really needs to spend lots of money on improving the town centre .

Could i ask where you are from.

CARRY ON GIRLS WAS BASED ON THIS THEY CALLED IT FURCUM...THEY WERE TRYING TO GET VISITORS ...A VERY FUNNY FILM 😀

Thanks again for another informative vlog Morecombe is the same as most places more empty shops than not i hope you enjoy your holiday

We always went to grove grill can’t just remember where it was

Great tour we love morcombe so relaxing 🍦🍺🍷😎

It's absolutely beautiful
