  • Great Picture Show - ITs such a shame that a few rich individuals who dont really give a crap about the Northeast, yet spout rubbish about how proud they are to come from the area, have let the whole front go to ruin for the sake of their own wealth.

  • There's as much of Tynemouth as there is of Whitley Bay here. I worked on the shuggyboats, wheel roundabouts and boats on Whitley sands in the 1950s. At least they've made a start on the regeneration of the Spanish City. Hope it's not too late.

  • @andreajones2007 I was growing up in Whitley Bay then and have such wonderful memories of the town. We were lucky to know the place then when it was a good place to live. I don't know what it is about Whitley but it evokes such nostalgia in people who grew up there and knew it then. I went back ten years ago and was saddened to see the deterioration but there was still the ghost of the past in some places and I felt a great fondness for those days half a century ago. I wish you peace.

  • W/bay shit hole....... Shame .......

  • So very sad... whatever has become of our country? I wasn't born until 1991 - I used to love trips to the seaside in my childhood, but I see now that I was born thirty years too late! Even so, the seasides have continued to decline - there's hardly anything left there for my nephews and nieces and I know if I ever have children the joy of a trip to the seaside will be nothing but a distant memory. Tragedy. Oh, what I'd do to turn the clock back and step into those old photographs!

  • I was brought up in Whitley Bay in the 50s and 60s . When i look back now i know how lucky i was. The summer holidays from school were just one big holiday, such happy memories, so sad it's all gone... Thanks for putting this clip on here !

  • Hooray Hooray Hooray for Whitley Bay

  • @VideosFromMe2010 thanks for reply .suprised the ships still there was told that it had closed down pleased to hear its still up and running

  • @mrmagicroundcircle The Ship is still here. I live right next to it.

  • So sad. I remember Whitley Bay in the '40s and '50s, it was such an exciting place in the summer and very staid and respectable during the rest of the year.

    Poignant!
