Yes, it’s an interesting place. There is even a website which gives the history of the Forton Services.
I believe it was the inadequate fire escapes though, which caused the tower restaurant to close down.

Hmmm.. lucky indeed. We are on our way up to Scotland today.

A valid comment, but I think Lancaster is radiant enough, without the lure of pots of gold.
Actually, a few minutes earlier we were passing the Forton Services with its iconic tower. I’ve always loved this place. It would have made a great picture, had the rainbow appeared here.

I know what you mean….
The tree and shrub department was on strike last week.

I think it was one of those ‘Friday afternoon’ rainbow jobs….
Either that, or the budget didn’t include any ‘luxuries’ like pots of gold. 🤑

Not that it would guarantee its survival, but I understand the tower was granted Grade 2 listing in 2012.
