North Tyneside: Park Avenue - Whitley Road
The North Sea defines the setting of Whitley Bay — its broad sandy bay and seafront give this North Tyneside town a clearly coastal character. Park Avenue and Whitley Road meet in the commercial centre, where independent businesses, larger shops, cafés and bus stops bring an urban rhythm to the resort town. The seafront follows the bay, while St Mary’s Island and its lighthouse stand farther north along the coast. Spanish City, the town’s white-domed Grade II listed landmark, recalls Whitley Bay’s long-established role as a place for seaside leisure. Although part of wider Tyneside, the town retains a close relationship with the shore.

England’s lowland plains, upland ranges and extensive coastline define much of England - these contrasts have long shaped farming, maritime trade and the growth of its cities. The Midlands, where this location lies, sit at the country’s inland centre and were pivotal to Britain’s Industrial Revolution. The River Thames links London with the North Sea, while the Pennines form a major upland spine farther north.
