Trust Morecambe to get rid of such a fine building

Anyone remember the Gaumont cinema and the Dancing Waters Show ? Steel was used for munitions for WW 1........it became even rarer then ! At least the Town Hall survives. The filling station ( garage ) was handy on the corner , but that’s gone too . Our Mum used to work in the off licence next to Morecambe FC ( Christie Park ) and used to serve Eric Morecambe with his pipe tobacco ! Cheers.

Great video. Thanks for posting. Never knew there had been a tower like that in Morecambe. I had been looking for info on New Brighton Tower and Watkin's Tower when I found it mentioned.

I just remember The Gaumont - I was only 8 when it was demolished. Our bus, from Carnforth, terminated outside the door. I remember the wave of interest in 10 pin bowling, in the early 60s, but Morecambe Bowl did not last long - like most things in Morecambe really.

Great! I found this very interesting as I never knew that Morecambe had a tower, not as grand as Blackpool, but a tower none the less. Such a shame it didn't survive it would have been quite an attraction today.

The red seats ended up in the Plaza Cinema. It continued to be called the Tower through bingo night club cinema dance venue etc.

Times change but what Morecambe had & lost is just plain ridiculous, .Frontierland, Marineland ,Alhambra, Winter Gardens,(hanging in there) A pier (ffs), odean ., the original train station, it would cost millions to get it all back ,that no council can afford. but all of a sudden , Eric lived there!.

Morecambe had two piers and the stone jetty. Frontierland closed because of a big bust up between Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Lancaster City Council.
