THE construction company that renovated the Winter Gardens is all set to buy Morecambe's troubled Midland Hotel, the Lancaster and Morecambe Citizen can exclusively reveal.
Barnfield Construction, which secured the £1.4 million contract to renovate the Winter Gardens in 1995, is favourite to complete a deal within the next few days.
It is understood that they plan to turn the listed art deco hotel into luxury apartments.
The news has been met with dismay by the Friends of the Midland Hotel who want to run it as a charitable trust as part of a community project
