Midland Hotel & Stone Jetty, Morecambe, Lancs

            This beautiful art deco hotel on the seafront at Morecambe, Lancashire, dates from 1933 and features a number of carvings by the renowned artist Eric Gill. The Grade II*- listed hotel was built on land owned by the Midland Railway. For the second half of the 19th century, trains ran along the adjacent Stone Jetty to meet ferries from Ireland and the Isle of Man. The station and ferry terminal was known as Morecambe Harbour. The building of a new port just up the coast at Heysham made the Morecambe facilities redundant at the end of the 19th century, and the old station building on the Stone Jetty (behind the camera) eventually became a very pleasant cafe. I suspect the Midland Hotel was built on the site of part of this railway line.
