Colin, my Dad was from Whitley Bay/Tynemouth area, had many a visit up there when young, is the Spanish City still there?
Last time I was in Newcastle didn't get a chance to go over there, though did see Shearer break Wor Jackies record at SJP.
Lovely part of the world, and Newcastle is on your doorstep a great place for shopping and eating out
Hi Deb
Sadly the Spanish City is no longer there, there is in fact a school on that site now, the whole Sea front is going through regeneration, it looks pretty sad just now, but in a few years time, hopefully the Holiday makers will come flooding back!
Strangely enough, Linda flew to Newcastle today (work), had a couple of hours spare and jumped on the train to whitely bay to have a look around, she only told me when she got back!!
