Midland Hotel

The Midland Hotel 1930. Oliver Hill architect and lover of life.

 

The iconic Art Deco hotel as it is today. My view is, when they upgraded
the hotel they spoilt the look by putting another building on top of the roof, see picture above.
This has ruined the linear of the building from when it was first built. See top picture.

 

The staircase.

This is a wall relief in the ballroom. Again by Eric Gill.

From the side of the Midland hotel, the lifeboat building and the

stunning views over the Morecambe bay.  

 

 

On a beautiful day went to Morecambe. I often walk along the promenade looking at the view across the bay

and stop for a coffee at the iconic hotel in the cocktail bar. Today I asked if I could

photograph inside the hotel ...... as you can see, I did.
