Very sad to see the demolition of empire

By '96 there was only one more big loss left to sustain: Frontierland. The piers were long gone, ditto the swimming stadium and Marineland, the Winter Gardens was closed. Morecambe had reached the point where it is now. Hopefully the Eden Project will turn the tide!

Amazingly nostalgic film. I felt real sadness seeing some of the old buildings being demolished, especially the Empire Cinema which was flourishing and busy up until the end of the '70s. Still, I have faith that a Morecambe revival is just around the corner. Bring on the Eden Project!

great video. Sadly the rearranged railway station and roads, building of Aldis etc. seems to have divided the West End of the town. In previous years there were slot machine / arcade venues on a much longer length of the promenade. Although times have changed anyway but it is very different to what it used to be. The loss of the piers added the the decline, but again they would have cost money to maintain and probably wouldn't have been as popular in recent years perhaps.

That's an excellent record of huge changes in Morecambe. I remember the west end pier being demolished after storm damage in the 1970s but I didn't know how or when the central pier and Marineland disappeared. Was there a fire on the central pier? The superstructure looks ruined even before the scrapmen moved in.

Really interesting, thanks for posting. But it's a very sad film - to see Marineland and the pier being demolished. Somehow Morecambe hasn't survived as a resort the way Blackpool and Southport have in their different ways. Could it be something as simple as its just that little bit further from the Manchester - Liverpool conurbations, or is that too simplistic?
