Morecambe's famous coat of arms mosaic to get a makeover

The famous Morecambe coat of arms mosaic is undergoing another facelift.

The mosaic, featuring Morecambe's motto 'Beauty Surrounds, Health Abounds', is currently fenced off for maintenance works.

The coat of arms was moved from its previous home in New Town Square outside the Arndale shopping centre in 2016.

It was temporarily removed for repairs in summer 2022, then re-installed on a new plinth at its existing site near Morecambe lifeboat station and restoration work was carried out by local artist Shane Johnstone.

Here is the mosaic pictured on Tuesday, June 24.

Due to its exposed location on the Promenade, the coat of arms can be damaged by the elements. 

"The mosaic is fenced off to allow for maintenance works to take place to the mosaic to improve its appearance," said a Lancaster City Council spokesperson.

"Now that the weather has improved, the work has restarted. Weather pending, we expect the repairs to be complete within the next few weeks."
