Just after my father brought Borwick Hall in 1946 I went with my mother to a shop and she brought a tin of paint. I was all of eight years old at the time and when we got back "home" I looked around and wondered just where she would start!

Lancaster, Morecambe and Heysham Pocket Album
The southern part of Morecambe was always referred to as the West End. Here we see the exclusive part of Morecambe. Our view takes in Werwick's Revolving Tower and shows what working-class people did for their week's holiday: they sat and relaxed and took in the sea air.
