Morecambe’s iconic Midland Hotel celebrates its 90th birthday today.
The art deco hotel on the prom first opened its doors on July 12, 1933, after a build costing £70,000.
There are events all week to mark the occasion, including an afternoon of music, drinks and a barbecue on Sunday (July 16).
The beach party-style afternoon will be held on the Midland lawn and in the Ravilious Suite and will feature music from DJ Steve Middlesbrough.
The striking building was built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) to the designs of architect Oliver Hill, with sculpture by Eric Gill and murals by Eric Ravilious.
The hotel featured in the 1960 film The Entertainer starring Laurence Olivier and the 1990s ITV adaptations of Agatha Christie’s Poirot, starring David Suchet.
