Morecambe Harbour Station
The railway station on the Stone Jetty in Morecambe originally opened in June 1848 as Morecambe Pier station, built by the "little" North Western Railway. It served as a transport link where passengers could transfer directly from trains to steamships sailing to the Isle of Man and Ireland. The station was renamed Morecambe Harbour in 1854 but closed to passengers in September 1904 when shipping operations moved to the deeper port at nearby Heysham. Today, the original stone station building still stands on the jetty and operates as a café.
The Cache
To log this cache, you need to visit the blue telescope near the station.
To log your find you must upload a photo with your log. There are no questions to answer here, so the only requirement is you take a photograph that follows the rules below.
Good to log
The photo in your log must contain you, or something identifiable, with the blue telescope in the picture.
- Option 1 - A photo of you with the telescope. Extra points for being creative with your photo!
If you are a team, please ensure all members of the team are visible the photograph. If anyone doesn't want to be in the photograph, they must upload their own photo that follows either Option 2 or Option 3
- Option 2 - A photo of your GPS, device or identifiable item with the telescope (solo finders only)
- Option 3 - A photo of your caching name on a piece of paper in front of the telescope (solo finders only)
Not Good To Log
- Photos showing the blue telescope only are not permitted. There must be something to identify you.
- Photos with teams with an item, a team name, or multiple names on a sheet of paper are not permitted. Only one caching name should be on each piece of paper.
This is an easy virtual to log, logs not containing a photo or a photo that does not follow the logging tasks will be deleted.
