‘It has echoes of happiness’: life for gen Z in the seaside town I once called home
The article is a personal reflection on the author's return to Morecambe, the seaside town where she grew up, after 25 years. The author, a former north of England editor for The Guardian, describes Morecambe as a place that offered few amenities for young people, making it feel like "half of the world was cut off." The article suggests that the feeling of being "left behind" is even stronger now, with the town offering even fewer opportunities for the younger generation. The author's childhood memories of Morecambe's grey sea, treacherous sand, and constant wind contrast with the town's current state, where the author finds "echoes of happiness" but a pervasive sense of being disconnected from the rest of the world.
