    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.

      Yeah morecambe is in a dire state I think the best thing here is the view but that's only on clear days lol

    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

      Totally agree. The town could be amazing but it's like the council don't care.

      It is a shame, a lot of Morecambe has changed over the years and I wish I could say for the better but it seems the council has forgotten what a good destination morecambe could be ........

      It's sad to see Morecambe lose more businesses each year. We hope it will get better if Eden ever arrives. Thanks for watching

    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

    • @FromTheShore1
      @FromTheShore1  6 місяців тому +1

      It would be good, these days morecambe seems like a forgotten, wasted opportunity of a sea side town.

    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 !!!

    • @FromTheShore1
      @FromTheShore1  5 місяців тому +1

      Fully agree with you Gary, there is no such thing as Great Britain anymore, now its full of snowflakes and wastes, Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 👍

      Yeah it was a great vid you did. Entertaining n showing how it is today. Blackpool the same. Walk literally yards from the prom n its a different world !!! Nobody in position cares anymore. Theres just no pride. Theres very little regeneration n all they do is blame it on someone else n cry that theyve got no money !! Yet it seems all the contracts they draw up with they,re friends always seem to be beneficial to their lifestyles !!!

    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

    • @FromTheShore1
      @FromTheShore1  11 місяців тому

      I think the entire country is in a sad state nower days, we love shopping in the shops rather than on line, you get to see and feel the product you want to buy, glad you enjoyed the vlog 👍

    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 .

    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.

    • @FromTheShore1
      @FromTheShore1  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes, it's called festival markets and is located next to reel cinema on the prom. It's not a bad market really. Thanks for watching.
