The prominent Morecambe building – which was once a thriving fun pub – remains on the market and in a continually worsening shabby state. Built as a hotel in 1840, the property has had a chequered history. It was a popular late night music destination as Pacha’s in the 1980s and 90s. After Pacha’s closed in 1999, it reinvented itself as Baroque, before becoming the Queens Hotel again during the 2000s. It reopened in February 2013 after a £20,000 internal refurb and finally, was re-launched as a late night venue in October 2014 by Mike Zorab but closed again just a few months later, and has stood empty since. Officers from Morecambe Town Council conducted a survey outside the hotel in June with a view to a possible application to the Community Ownership Fund.

Wow! These old pictures of Morecambe's iconic hotel bear no resemblance to today

This alleyway off Marine Road Central between the Army Surplus Store and Bay Rugs has been an eyesore for decades. It's often referred to by locals as 'Pigeon Alley' because of the propensity for pigeons to use it as a toilet. Strewn with graffiti and open to the elements, it's a grot spot that we would all like to see cleaned up. With plans revealed late last year for a new indoor laser tag attraction at the site, our hopes could be realised in the not too distant future.
