Photographer's Comments

Various Times

Frontierland, Morecambe's fairground site, was a strange cowboy-style remodelling of an earlier fairground. The original site was opened in 1909. The 'new' big dipper, installed in the late 1930s was known originally as The Cyclone. In Frontierland it became the Texas Tornado ! The site has now been cleared for redevelopment.

These pictures were taken throughout the year. It was never actually fully open during the year but as you can see by the end of the year it had been demolished. As yet the site has still not been redeveloped and the polo tower still stands. The pictures were taken on different visits to Morecambe during the year with the final images taken on the 2nd of December when I sneaked through a hole in the gate to get access to the site.
