General notes

Volunteers of the Territorial Army used to camp and practice Artillery to the south of Morecambe at the Battery. Later they moved to the northern end, beyond Bare, where Happy Mount Park now lies.

This image gives a particularly clear view of the skyline and shows (starting on the left):

- Bare Hall
- The Elms Hotel
- The chimney of Bare Laundry, above
- Lansdowne Road Garage, advertising The Alhambra
- Princes Crescent meeting the seafront
- The White House
- Morecambe Tower, in an unfinished state, above
- The Grand Hotel
- The Central Pier, with its pavillion

Mr Eastwood had a Chemist shop in Lancaster, and took a selection of images around Morecambe on glass plates around the turn of the 20th century.
