Vintage seaside memories in Morecambe
Morecambe photographer Johnny Bean came across an old photograph of holidaymakers outside the Midland Hotel and decided to create the pose once again many years later.
He said: “Vintage By The Sea weekend seemed the perfect time to do it.

“It would be great to know who took it or who the people in it are?”
Johnny, who is also a member of the Morecambe Artist Colony, received a great response to recreate the photo after he put a call out to friends and family.
On Sunday morning, after high tide, the group stepped into the waters to pose for the camera.

“I have to really thank everyone who agreed on a damp and drizzly morning, they were all really fantastic and loved being a part of it.
“We all went for a hot coffee in the Midland afterwards to warm up!”
