My dad used to be part of the family that owned Whitwams Furniture Store at the top end of Yorkshire Street and on many lunch times we used to head down to Cravens to have one of their famed Meat and Potato pies with peas and gravy. Mmmmm....wummy....
What a pity that the street is now no longer what it used to be.
Just a shame that the Council appear not to have applied for regional funding to improve the street as have other towns with success.[/quote]
me thinks they would had it been in Lancaster

I'm an exile who rarely comes back to Morecambe but when I do my heart cries for the old Morecambe lost.
All you have to pin your hopes onto now is the Eden of the North
and to be honest I can't see why they are building it at Morecambe. But this is a topic for a different thread.[/quote]One of the reasons they are building it in Morecambe and it is likely to get the final go ahead in the next budget is , and this won't be popular with the usual suspects, David Morris M.P. He has lobbied the Chancellor and he has lobbied Jake Berry Northern Powerhouse minister at every opportunity to get this project off the ground along with others it has to be said. He put the same effort in to get George Osborne to find £128 million for the Bay Gateway and fortunately the silent majority gave him over 50% of the votes cast in the recent General Election in recognition of his work. He is not everyone's cup of tea but could end up as Morecambe's most effective M.P.
