MORECAMBE'S very own museum is proving to be a big hit - despite being open for just a week.

The local museum, housing artefacts from Morecambe's past has been arranged in the reference section of Morecambe Library thanks to Poulton Neighbourhood Management and Poulton Heritage Group.

Some of the newly donated items include a programme from the Winter Gardens dated 1959, a copy of the film 'The Entertainer' and a calendar found in a property on Lord Street dated 1933.

Other items that have been promised include a very old and very rare accounts book from a blacksmith in Poulton.

Poulton Neighbourhood Management purchased the glass cabinet housing the collection and many of the items framed to preserve them.

The items are available to the public to view in Morecambe Library.

If anyone would like to donate items for the display, please contact Poulton Neighbourhood Management on 01524-425200.
