FOCUS ON
Popular attractions include the
Segedunum Roman Fort in Wallsend,
which marks the end of Hadrian’s Wall.
This fantastic attraction takes visitors
back to AD122 - when the Emperor
Hadrian ordered the 73-mile Hadrian’s
Wall to be built, which was designed as a
mighty frontier system which defended
Britain and the Roman Empire from the
barbarians to the North.
Tynemouth Castle and Priory takes
pride of place in an elevated position
ISSUE 04 : SUMMER 2018
looking over the mouth of the Tyne and
can be seen for miles around. With its
2000-year history and beautiful views, it
is the perfect location for a fun family day
out. It is also a picturesque and popular
spot to enjoy seaside sh and chips with
a view and is a great location to have a
picnic, lie back and enjoy the sea air.
The area’s most notable regeneration
project has been created thanks to North
Tyneside Council’s £36m Seafront Master
Plan, which will see the coastline
transform from St Mary's Lighthouse to
Cullercoats Bay.
The highly anticipated Spanish City,
Whitley Bay, has also gained a lot of
attention - and rightly so. The £10m
project will see its iconic dome be
brought back to life with the
addition of modern
extensions and the
refurbishment of the
famous ‘dancing ladies’. The venue, which
boasts outstanding interiors, will oer
dining, events, weddings and
conferences.
North Tyneside Council released plans
to regenerate Spanish City and Whitley
Bay alongside a coastal development
plan. The restoration comes after North
Tyneside Council invested £4m,
successfully secured £3.47m of funding
from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and
gained a Coastal Communities Fund grant
of more than £2.5m.
Further activity in the area has also
included an exciting seafront residential
scheme which has regenerated the site of
a derelict hotel. Construction of High
Point View, a development of 14
townhouses on the Promenade, in
Whitley Bay, which oers oor-to-ceiling
sea views, is due to be ready this
summer.
