Many old cottages still exist, and there's the historic St Peter's Church and St Patrick's Chapel, along with the famous stone coffins which even featured on the front cover of the best of Black Sabbath album.
You can also take a walk to Heysham Head to admire the stunning views across the bay.
These pictures from our archives show the beauty of this quaint village near Morecambe in all its glory.
We hope you enjoy them.
