Morecambe in Lancashire was once a favourite holiday destination for working-class families.
Famed for their no-nonsense reputation, gruff manner and strict rules and regulations, Morecambe's landladies have seen it all.
The Morecambe Heritage Centre recently delivered the ‘Landladies of Morecambe’ project, funded by our #EverydayHeritage: Celebrating Working Class Histories grants.
The project featured local young people interviewing former landladies, family members, and paying guests about their experiences of bed and breakfasts in Morecambe over the decades.
Inspired by the project, we brought together three generations of landladies at the Berkeley B&B in Morecambe to reflect on the town’s past, present, and future.
12 interviews are available to watch at morecambeheritage.co.uk and on their YouTube channel.
