Pub Sign Study Nowhere Morecambe Lancashire

One of the oddest pub names and signs in the UK, a pub called Nowhere, and a sign featuring a question mark. There is something odd about a pub claiming to be nowhere, especially in a rundown seaside town like Morecambe, which can be a ghost town beside the nearby Blackpool, which claims many more visitors. The bar serves more a nightclub than pub, and it must generate a few raised eyebrows when people heading there are asked where they are going and reply, “Nowhere!” It probably sounds sarcastic. A few sites call the pub Now Here, or NowHere, but it is clearly calling itself Nowhere. The question mark seems terribly apt. Arthur Chappell

Don't know if it is still there, but in Grantham was a pub called the Nobodys Inn. Whenever I went there it was always packed!

@Ronrybs it is still there. Just looked online. Great name. Not a town I have visited. Birth place of Margaret Thatcher

@arthurchappell The family used to live in Grantham, so I would visit and pop into the odd pub! I always think of Issac Newton for the town, although he was actually from nearby

That's a bit different. I think we have a town called Nowhere but I'm not sure.
