So sad. Whitley Bay used to be a great place when I was a kid – now it’s more like a shanty town.

I couldn’t agree More David,fancy leaving a beautiful old building like this to go to rack and ruin. Wonderful capture.

Thank you Noelene . . . yeah, this town (Whitley Bay) is a right dump now, such a shame because for many, many years it was the number one seaside holiday resort in the North East of England.

I made a typo above, the Restaurant in Newcastle is called = Rumpolis

Beautiful but sad photo David. Great colours and a lovely building. Shame it’s derelict, hopefully it’ll be saved before it’s too late.

Thanks Mark. There’s places like this up and down the land, yet still loads of tramps sleeping rough.

Makes you puke doesn’t it!

I really think this is a case for the demolition men , the owners of these properties should be forced to either keep them in good order or demolish them , they are a blot on the landscape .
