Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool
On Queen's Promenade, Blackpool, at the junction with Norbreck Road. Originally built as a large private country house in 1869, it was bought in the late 1800s by J.H. Shorrocks who held lavish weekend parties. Their popularity led Shorrocks to run them on a commercial basis by taking paying guests.
In 1912, he formed a public company and expanded the building, now named the Norbreck Hydro, in several phases, adding a ballroom, swimming pool and solarium in the early 1930s.
During World War II the hotel was used by the government as offices and accommodation for evacuated civil servants. It remained under government control for eleven years until 1951.
In 1988, the hotel was the venue for a conference where the Liberal Party and Social Democratic Party merged to form the Liberal Democrats.
In 2003, a group of fifteen children just back from Hong Kong to study at Rossall School were isolated at the hotel over SARS concerns and were kept in a self-contained wing with a nurse. However, they had to be removed for their safety when hotel guests found out the children were staying there and an "abusive mob" of guests forced the children to be removed.

Norbreck Castle Hotel and Tramstop
Norbreck Castle Hotel on Queens Promenade has 480 bedrooms and 22 conference suites.
It was built as a large private country house in 1869, and purchased around the end of the 19th century by J.H. Shorrocks who used the house to entertain friends and colleagues at lavish weekend parties. The popularity of these parties led to Shorrocks running them on a commercial basis by taking paying guests.
In 1912, Shorrocks formed a public company and expanded the building, now named the Norbreck Hydro, in several phases, adding a ballroom, swimming pool and solarium in the early 1930s.
During World War II the hotel was commandeered by the British government as offices and accommodation for evacuated civil servants and remained under government control for eleven years until being handed back in 1951.
In 1988, the hotel was the venue for the conference where the Liberal Party and Social Democratic Party merged to form the Liberal Democrats.
It is currently owned by Britannia Hotels.
