Morecambe landladies celebrated in English working-class heritage project

Historic England 774,000 programme will also feature Deptford's gut girls' and Durham's miners' welfare clubs

Morecambe's infamous no-nonsense" seaside landladies and the gut girls" of Deptford's 19th-century offal yards are to be celebrated as part of a series of projects focused on England's working-class heritage.

Often cruelly caricatured on seaside postcards, the formidable B&B hosts of the Lancashire town will claim their place as part of a Historic England programme funding 57 community-led projects to preserve often overlooked working-class histories.
