    Good morning, I hope you don't mind me asking,but have any viewers memories,memorabilia etc relating to Winged World at Heysham Head? I worked there as a keeper for several years and this was an amazing place filled with rare and beautiful foreign softbilled birds.Sadly it was never appreciated by the Council,who ran it....mostly into the ground! It closed around 1979/80,and along with some old colleagues I'm doing a project to make sure that as much information survives for the future.If anyone would like to get in youch,my email is john.thorpe1952@gmail.com and my number is 0161 764 7078. Many thanks.

    Colin.you're a very interesting bloke.I remember Morecambe from when I was 4 years old in 1968 having a family day out in Morecambe.It was exactly like the Morecambe postcards.It was a beautiful place.The promenades were spotless,flowerbeds were colourful and vibrant and everywhere -council gardeners were full-time then but not now.The council have ruined Morecambe.
