‘The Crossing of Morecambe Bay’ – A Talk by Julian Blatchley

Locals have always known how treacherous the crossing of England’s second largest bay can be.

Whether by foot across the sands at low tide, or by boat on the flood, many lives and much merchandise were lost; yet the journey was made regularly – probably for thousands of years.

Why was this treacherous crossing preferred to a land route? How long did it continue, and why did it stop? Julian will cover the history of the crossing from pre-history to the present day.
