Grange-over-Sands
Grange-over-Sands is a town and civil parish on Morecambe Bay – with a wide tidal range, hence the "sands" name – roughly midway between Barrow-in-Furness and Kendal in Cumbria, England. Grange-over-Sands was created as an urban district in 1894 and lies historically within Lancashire. In 1974 Cumbria was created under Local Government re-organisation which absorbed the area referred to as "Lancashire North of the Sands" or North Lonsdale. Grange is now in South Lakeland District. The town remains part of the County Palatine of Lancashire and is part of the Duchy of Lancaster. It has a population of 4,042,〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : South Lakeland'' ) Retrieved 18 September 2009〕 increasing to 4,114 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Town population 2011 )〕
==History==
The town developed in the Victorian era from a small fishing village, and the arrival of the railway made it a popular seaside resort on the north side of Morecambe Bay, across the sands from Morecambe. The 'over-Sands' suffix was added in the late 19th or early 20th centuries by the local vicar, who was fed up with his post going to Grange in Borrowdale near Keswick.
In 1932 a lido was built on the seafront but it closed in 1993 and was listed Grade II in 2011.〔(Oliver Merrington's Potentially Re-Openable Lidos in the UK ), retrieved 14 November 2009〕
The River Kent used to flow past the town's mile-long promenade but its course migrated south, away from Grange. The sands or mudflats with dangerous quicksands became a grass meadow now grazed by small flocks of sheep. As a result of sustained easterly winds in the early part of 2007, the river has begun to switch its course back across the bay, and it remains to see whether the meadows survive.
