The Midland Hotel Morecambe - Art Deco Fantasy - BBC's 'One Foot In The Past' with Thora Hird 

Dear dear Thora. Thanks for this!

Love this, brings back fine memories, I worked at The Midland as a school leaver in 1956 and worked in the porters lodge for five years, in the dancing I know the two musicians you can see.

God bless Thora-Never forgot her roots! Her role in "A Kind Of Loving" ranks as one of British cinemas finest moments.

I was a DJ on the Pier and at the Floral Hall 1962 - 1966...........................those were the days

Thanks for sharing this, some fantastic photos of The Midland on Flickr

The place is amazing now it's been done up...

You're most welcome, glad you enjoyed it & thanks for the heads up ;-)

SCREENSTEALERS; I completely forgot about this great series.Thanks very much for sharing it, I loved everything, including the music and presenter's. I'm going to try and track down more of this--if I can. I've just discovered the name of another iconic building in this town--The Battery Hotel''. Not sure if it is still standing, but it is shown in the background of a RAF passing out Group Photo, taken about 1940. My brother is among the group. There are several Hotels with this unusual name, but none of this Victorian ? era. I now have a nice period photograph of it.

These shows were made between 1993 & 2000, unfortunately I don't have the whole show, so I don't know the exact date of this episode, but that may help you.

What-O!

Was this made before or after its renovation?
