Two new books released on the history of the
Spanish City Amusement Park at Whitley Bay!
The Spanish City:
The Heart and Soul of Whitley Bay in Words and Pictures
compiled and edited by Keith Armstrong
To generations of Tynesiders the mention of The Spanish City conjures up
romantic memories of heady days spent (or misspent!) on the amusements and
its other great attractions on the seafront at Whitley Bay. The iconic white dome
is still considered with great affection and for many represents the first sign of
home as their plane circles in to land at Newcastle Airport.
To celebrate 100 years of The Spanish City, The Northern Voices Community
Projects funded by North Tyneside Council have brought out The Spanish City -
the Heart and Soul of Whitley Bay in Words and Pictures , a book beautifully
produced by Keith Armstrong and Peter Dixon with historical background ,
photos past and present, memories and a wealth of contributions from local
writers .
