Were they taken from the end of the north roundhead, Dave?
There was a barrier preventing access to the end the last couple of times I've been up there. Would I be correct in assuming that it's now been removed?

 It was nice when you could drive and park your car up there, and watch the ships entering and leaving the port, I also noticed a lot of the crash barriers have been removed.

Is it safe to ignore it, or do I have to be sneaky and keep an eye out for marauding security guards?

There is a road barrier at the end of the Centrica (British Gas) site. On the North Roundhead there is a fence to stop people going onto the far end of the roundhead which I assume is still unsafe after being hit by one of the ships. I can't see any reason to try and get by it, you can see all you need to without.

Ah, I see. I was under the impression that I wouldn't be able to get any further than the barrier at the end of the Centrica site. The chap who runs the cafe told me (something along the lines of, I can't remember exactly) that they put it across the road as a precautionary measure when a dredger was working alongside the jetty a few years ago and that they just hadn't bothered to remove it when the work was completed.
Oh well! I'll try again in September...
Third time lucky!

I think the barrier may well still be there for vehicles, but you can park up near the Zoo Cafe and just have a nice walk down there.

but you can park up near the Zoo Cafe No I can't... I can't drive!  I'll be walking from my hotel. I've wandered down to Heysham every time I've been in Morecambe. I really like that part of the prom, and I'll never tire of the view I see when I step up on to the Barrows next to St. Patrick's Chapel. |

I had been telling my hubby about the time I was in Morecombe when the Moby Dick and Hotel was hit by lightening and burnt down. My parents, sister and myself had just come off the Moby Dick when lightening stuck
