Wiganers enjoying a holiday in Morecambe 60 years ago in 1966

Our scorching summer may be all but over (although given the climate these days who’s to say we won’t get another heatwave yet?), however we thought there was just time for one more sunny retrospective.

These wonderful photographs were all taken for the Wigan Observer in 1966 and feature Wigan families enjoying a break at the Pontins holiday camp in Morecambe. Perhaps some readers might recognise their younger selves or much missed loved ones.
