More Art Deco in Morecambe
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco, Science Fiction, Trips at 22:26 on 11 April 2012
This was, I think, the other deco building I spotted in Morecambe but didn’t have time to photograph 3 years ago. It’s on the seafront, heading northwards from the Midland Hotel.
But there was more. Much more.
Almost the first Art Deco building we came upon this time though was what looked like a toilet block!
Further still along the front was this:-
There was also a deco pub down a side street,
the Lloyds Bank building,
Morecambe Visitor Centre,*
a deco style bridge between two buildings,
and some nice deco-ish glazing on a disused hotel.
There may have been more still but we only stayed one night.
Also on the sea front was a warren of a second hand bookshop, absolutely stuffed to the gunwhales – the SF was mostly old stuff and stacked high making exploring it a bit problematic. The good lady secured a couple of purchases of vintage crime, though.
*Edited to add It’s not a visitor centre. The Morecambe Visitor is the local newspaper. See the first comment on this post.

Nice photos and nice to see Morecambe featuring. One minor point about your caption: the Morecambe Visitor is the local newspaper and that’s its office.
