Until the 1980s, Morecambe in Lancashire was a favourite holiday destination for working-class families from Northern England and Scotland.

Famed for their no-nonsense reputation, gruff manner and strict rules and regulations, Morecambe’s landladies have seen it all.

Inspired by the grant project, this short film brings together three generations of landladies at the Berkeley B&B in Morecambe to reflect on the town’s past, present, and future.

The ‘Landladies of Morecambe’ project was delivered by Morecambe Heritage as part of our Everyday Heritage: 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.

12 of the interviews are available to watch at @morecambeheritagecentrefil665
