There was great excitement when Megazone laser game centre on Marine Road West in Morecambe opened in 1993. Thousands of people, and especially children, spent many a happy hour there until it caught fire in June 2014. The damage to the building was so severe that the business had to close.

One of the grandest of the 1930s modernist seaside lidos, the Super Swimming Stadium measured 396 feet by 110 feet and was said to be the largest outdoor pool in Europe when it opened in 1936. The venue could accommodate 1,200 bathers and 3,000 spectators, and became the home of the hugely popular Miss Great Britain competition with heats and the finals regularly taking place there. For 40 years, the stadium provided pleasure for thousands, both visitors and residents, but as tastes and opinions changed and the stadium began to leak, concerns grew about its future. The bulldozers finally moved in and by Easter 1977, the stadium was super no more. Photo: Submit
A popular - and free - entertainment on Morecambe’s central promenade in the early 1960s was the Guinness Clock. Every quarter of an hour the clock came to life with moving characters representing a zookeeper and a whole menagerie of creatures, familiar from the Guinness adverts of the day. Such mechanical marvels were hard to maintain though, and with the animals no longer featuring in Guinness adverts, the Guinness Clock was scrapped in 1966. Photo: Robert Wade
