| The Midland Hotel is a Streamline Moderne ART DECO building in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. It was built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway LMS, in 1933, to the designs of architect Oliver Hill, with sculpture by Eric Gill, and murals by Eric Ravilious. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The hotel stands on the seafront with the convex side facing the sea, and the concave side facing the former Morecambe Promenade railway station, in homage to the railway company whose showcase hotel this was. Hill designed the hotel to complement the curve of the promenade, which allowed guests to view spectacular panoramas of the North West coast. The Midland was saved from dereliction by developers Urban Splash IN 2006. |
