Twenty Miles Round Morecambe Bay - a photo on Flickriver

My dad showed me this on a recent visit, a friend of his came across it and loaned it to him for a look, because he knew that when I was a wee lad we used to have a caravan down in Morecambe each summer (normally used by various parts of our extended family throughout the summer months, including us).

This is "Twenty Miles Around Morecambe Bay", a vintage travel booklet by "well-known writer and broadcaster" Sydney Moorhouse. You can see from the price on the front this is well before the British economy finally went to the decimal system (still the old pounds, shillings and pence system here). I found Steve on the Bear Alley blog actually had an entry on this chap - he was local and wrote a number of guide books, as well as newspaper and journal articles, radio broadcasts and more. The blog post is here bearalley.blogspot.com/2006/11/sydney-moorhouse.html

From Steve's article it looks like this was published in 1948. Dad and I both found it quite interesting looking back over this guide to an area we spent so many family holidays in, way back in the day (although not as way back as when this was published!)
