History
White Lund is an area in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. The history of White Lund dates back to the 19th century when the area was primarily used for farming. However, in the late 1800s, the opening of the Lancaster Canal and the arrival of the railway spurred the growth of industry in the area.
White Lund became home to several factories and mills, including the Morecambe Bay Gas and Coke Company, the Lancaster and Morecambe Electric Tramways and Lighting Company, and the Northern Rubber Company. The area also had a large ironworks and a shipbuilding yard.
During World War II, White Lund played an important role in the war effort, with the airfield at nearby Heysham being used by the RAF to defend the North West coast of England. The area also became a major hub for munitions production.
