    The Morecambe/Lancaster area is gorgeous and a really nice place to live...can't understand why you should say that.

    Perhaps its changed...I spent a lot of weekends there in the 80's, dossing in my mate's flat at the side of Davy Jones Locker....some great pubs and lovely people, the brilliant art deco hotel ...Lancaster was great, out to Heysham and Carnforth in a few minutes, couldn't knock it.

    The second hand one where you can't ever find anything? Yes, it was in December but looked like it had a new sign.

    Mrs Finn is a born & bred sand-grown'un and most of her family still live there. It was an incredibly fashionable seaside-resort back in Victorian times, with trains pulling up where the jetty now sits to deposit the well-heeled folk from prosperous northern mill towns to take the sea air. Like most UK seaside resorts it was hit hard by the advent of cheap package holidays abroad, and when they began dumping benefits claimants into those once-magnificent houses down the west end, it sparked an even bigger decline.

    But the improvements made are genuinely impressive. The aforementioned stone jetty, the Midland Hotel, Happymount Park, the ongoing work at the Winter Gardens and the imminent start of work on Project Eden North have & will continue to transform Morecambe. The walkway that runs the full length of the prom is the best place I know for a walk, cycle or run with, on a clear day, unrivalled views of the peaks across the bay.

    Scruffy & tatty in parts - absolutely, but please don't write it off until you've visited.
