They've had several guises... including a nightclub 🕺💃
Lancastrian seafood fans will be familiar with the following scene: a bowl stacked full of mussels submerged in a white wine garlicky broth with a side of generously-salted French fries on the side and little bowl with lemon water to dip your fingers in.Most of them will not have even heard of mussel tanks or considered the different journey those molluscs have taken through the decades, from being caught to making it to their plate.
Since then the tanks have had several guises including an unofficial swimming pool, a restaurant called The Anchorage, a roller-skating rink and nightclub but by the late 1900, the site was abandoned and in sorry, ugly state following several spates of vandalism. However in recent years, The Mussel Tank site has been redeveloped by the Lytham St Annes Civic Society and was officially reopened in 2019 and serves as an artistic homage to the shellfish industry.
