Morecambe Harbour and Central Pier, Lancashire, June 1933: A Bird's Eye View of a Bygone Era This evocative photograph, taken in the summer of 1933, captures the essence of Morecambe Harbour and Central Pier in Lancashire from an aerial perspective. The image, captured by the skilled photographers of Aerofilms Ltd, offers a unique and captivating perspective of this iconic coastal scene. Morecambe Harbour, with its intricate network of channels and docks, is a hive of maritime activity. The harbour, once a thriving hub for the fishing industry, is still home to a number of working boats and yachts. The docks, lined with cranes and warehouses, bear testament to the area's rich maritime history. Central Pier, a landmark of Morecambe's seafront, stretches out into the Irish Sea like a graceful finger. Opened in 1897, the pier has long been a popular destination for visitors, offering amusements, food stalls, and stunning views of the bay. In this photograph, the pier appears as a slender line against the backdrop of the shimmering bay, with the rolling waves lapping at its base. The photograph also reveals the extent of the sandy beach, which stretches out to meet the harbour. The beach, a favourite spot for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking, is a testament to the area's popularity as a seaside resort. This photograph, with its intriguing details and captivating composition, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Morecambe Harbour and Central Pier in the 1930s, and to appreciate the enduring charm of this historic coastal town.
