General notes

Bare Artillery Camp, Scalestone Point, Bare
Morecambe was long associated with British army artillery ranges, with the original range, which operated close to what is now Sandylands promenade during the 19th century, lending its name to Battery Corner in the West End of Morecambe. The range was later relocated north to Bare at Scalestone Point, where Happy Mount Park and Morecambe Golf Club now stand, where it operated during the late 19th- early 20th century. The camp operated throughout the summer months and was initially used for artillery training by the Lancashire Artillery Volunteers and, later, the Territorial Army.
