history

The Winter Gardens is a Grade II listed building in Morecambe, Lancashire. Designed by architects Mangnall and Littlewood, with Frank Matcham as a consulting architect, it was originally built as the Victoria Pavilion Theatre in 1897 and was an extension to the existing Winter Gardens complex, which has since been demolished. The theatre closed to the public in 1977 and was listed the same year. It is considered to be one of Morecambe's most significant features, and a campaign for its restoration has been ongoing since 1986.

This is a lovely, lovely old place, a few years back it was one of the properties featured on the TV programme where they lobbied for votes to win funding for restoration, Gryf Rhys Jones presented it. I had a look in there a while back when the 'friends of' group were having an open day to raise funds.
