5. Brucciani's ice cream
It's a much-loved part of Morecambe's identity, loved and cherished by locals and visitors alike. But Brucciani's ice cream parlour only ended up in the resort by accident, and by chance. You would have to read the book to find out how! Picture by David Taylor. Photo: David Taylor
6. Bashful Alley
Bashful Alley in Lancaster is a cut-through and a name that certainly intrigues- especially if you know what it used to be called. As an original haunt of sailors and prostitutes back in the boom-town Lancaster of the 18th century, it had a specific purpose that isn't hard to guess....Picture by David Taylor. Photo: David Taylor

8. Dr Death's House
Lancaster's fine architecture is reflected in the facade of 2 Dalton Square - but within this building, the haunting memories of a one-time 'House of Horror' live on. It was here that, in 1935, highly respected surgeon, Dr Buck Ruxton, perpetrated what came to be known as the 'Jigsaw Murders'. Picture by David Taylor. Photo: David Taylor
