More about this scene
Jugs of tea are advertised on the left, and 'Walkie Photos' on the right. It is a pity that more effort was not put into saving one of Morecambe's piers in the late 1970s when they were still there; but those years were not a time when conservation or heritage featured much on the agenda. The Super Swimming Stadium had opened in 1936; as a promotion for the pool, a Miss Great Britain competition was started in Morecambe in 1945. In 1964 Marineland, Europe's first Oceanarium, opened on the old stone jetty.
