Morecambe night life thriving was when everybody from round here even Lancaster use to all come down and drink in up until 1995ish, and as never recovered since, it as no comparison now to such a superb city to live in(all be it by Morecambe council tax payers help)
but am not going to start going on about the good old days and when Morcambe had its own council
Alot of that started after the fight that took place when the "Bradford landladys" and the "Liverpool dockers" were in town. Celebrating firemen from Carnforth had a disagreement with the dockers and all hell broke loose and even the police got involved in fisticuffs.
The week after, and for the rest of the "summer", Morecambe was "policed" by numerous mounted police who were not bothered if the horse "accidentlly knocked" someone.
I was out and about around that time and the heavy handedness of the police put me off going out in Morecambe. The town never recovered from then in my opinion.
Don't forget it wasn't even the locals who caused the trouble.
