Morecambe Bay Holiday Camp, Heysham - 1965 advert -Heysham Towers was built as a private manor house around 1840 and converted into a hotel by the Midland Railway in 1896. It was acquired by the Holden family in 1925 and converted into a holiday camp with tents (and later chalets) in the 13 acre grounds. During the war it was used as an officer cadet training unit. Located a couple of miles north of the larger Middleton Tower camp it went through a major expansion during the 1960s. It was owned by the Holden's right up until closure but not sure when that was (1980s maybe?) Everything is now demolished and the site covered with housing. Where was it located exactly? It was on the west side of Middleton Rd where Heysham Rd and School Rd intersect. The new roads now occupying the site are Heysham Park and Heysham Hall Grove.
