Morecambe is a resort town within the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire, EnglandIn 1889 the villages of Bare, Poulton-le-Sands and Torrisholme collectively became known as Morecambe, and those areas of Morecambe are still known by their original names. Morecambe has had a proud history as a thriving seaside resort in the mid-twentieth century.
Whilst Blackpool attracted holiday-makers predominantly from the Lancashire mill towns, Morecambe had more visitors from Yorkshire and Scotland. Between 1956 and 1989 it was the home of the Miss Great Britain beauty contest. And was regarded one of the best seaside destinations in the UK. However, Morecambe has suffered a decline in recent years.[2] It once had two piers, but both are now gone: Central Pier was struck by fire and West End Pier was washed away in a storm.
In 1994, The ensuing 'Blobbygate' scandal led to a legal battle between Lancaster City Council and TV star Noel Edmonds. The closures of Bubbles, Morecambe's indoor waterworld, and Frontierland, its Pleasure Beach, soon followed. However, Morecambe is now an 'up and coming town, lead strongly by the regenerating west end,' with some investment in the area and house prices rising. Source : www.wikipedia.org.uk
