An aerial image of Morecambe Promenade station, by an unknown photographer. At first glance it appears to be very early with the horse drawn vehicles but the Midland Hotel can just be seen in the bottom corner meaning it will probably be the mid 1930s. The goods yard gave its name to the car park that stands on that site today. Morecambe Euston Rd station can just be seen at the top of the picture. The present day station is approximately at the point where the signal box is in this image, and would be an ideal candidate for a short re-electrification scheme, albeit using the former LNWR tracks rather than the now closed Midland line to Lancaster Green Ayre.
