Great photos! Still remember Sundays hanging around the ‘Spanish City’ with friends as a teenager in the early 70’s. We would all get the train from the Central Station in Newcastle. The Waltzer was always a favourite, Happy times!
Fantastic video, Colin. Such fond and happy memories, spending time at the Spanish City with family and friends. I would love to have seen it in its heyday in 1900's! Hope you and Carole are well. Thanks for the post......
This made a life long impression on me through the Dire Straits song Tunnel Of Love. Still on my must see bucket list to see some time. Thanks for sharing this wonderful and informative video. Cheers from Holland, Michael
I never understood then and still don't understand how so many rides and the lake !! all fitted inside what I suppose we would now call a theme park. Thank you for this, it was nostalgic and novel at the same time.
If ever a local council actually did its job its the refurb of Spanish City and the closure of the puke pits that served stag nights or hen parties in Whitley bay - congratulations.
