Grange is steeped in history – and much of it as a holiday destination. It is thought that its name derived from the old French ‘Graunge’ meaning ‘a barn’ or ‘granary’ where the monks of Cartmel Priory stored some of their grain. As the years passed, the village became a small fishing village, where ships which couldn’t head on through the shallow water would offload cargo.
By the Victorian era, and with the development of the railway, it had become a popular seaside resort and was described as a ‘beautiful sea-bathing village’ and steamers carried passengers from Morecambe and Blackpool.
The wealthy flocked to the pretty little town by the sea, where they built holiday homes galore and in 1932, a Lido was built on the promenade. If you like delving into a bit of history, then the Frances Frith collection of old photos of the area is worth a look.
