2. Morecambe Tower
Yes, Morecambe once had a tower. The structure was under construction in 1898 and opened unfinished in 1902, built into the foundations of the building beneath - where Buzz Bingo now stands at the corner of Marine Road East and Lord Street. There were great plans for the tower to look like a giant helter-skelter leading up to a viewing platform affording marvellous views of the bay. Unfortunately the structure was never finished, funds ran out and it was dismantled 'for the war effort' in 1914. Photo: Lancaster Guardian
3. Piers
Morecambe used to have two piers. Central Pier was built during the late 1860s and demolished in 1992 after a devastating fire. West End Pier officially opened on April 3 1896. It suffered storm damage in 1977 and with repair costs of £500,000, it was instead demolished the following year. Our picture shows Morecambe's West End Pier in 1896. Photo: Submitted
