Again, from a 1962 guide to Morecambe and Heysham, some more vintage advertising…..
Cleaning would not have been offered in most B & Bs and hotels at the time….
Hmmm….tripe. Evidently an acquired taste!
The Elms Hotel….the luxury market….
Dreadnought…a name that speaks volumes!
Summer Season 1962 at the Winter Gardens
The Co-op is still on the same site….
Apparently, gay times were promised at the Palace Theatre….
These are some splendid vintage adverts for Morecambe, taken from a book about Morecambe and Heysham from fifty years ago. They show a vibrant town with many attractions vying for attention. The style, and the language, speak of an era well in the past….the kind of language, the food, the clothes, even the choice of furnishing….
The Grosvenor Hotel…
Morecambe and Heysham Council advertising the resort…
The attractions of the Central Pier
The joys of Lewis’s ice-cream (which can still be enjoyed….)
The ‘Arcadian’ Restaurant
The Clarendon Hotel….
English and ‘Continental’ Tours
