Petition to save the Cliff Lift at Whitby - keep Whitby beach accessible - seems the council are trying to fill in the lift without proper consultation process/exploring costs of repairs fully

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY.

"Crowds visit Tynemouth Bathing Pool.

The new swimming pool at the Long Sands proved an immense attraction and presented scenes of great animation throughout the day.

Occupied from six in the morning, until well into the evening....

It's birthday month.

Yay us!

This humble pool first opened in May 1925. One of many that appeared across the UK to become favourite holidays destinations, vibrant hubs of communities, and places of great joy

So much to love and well worth campaigning to restore

We're excited to announce that on 6 June we'll be co-hosting our first day symposium with @hbap1924 on Recognising Seaside Heritage. We've got speakers from around the coast and across the heritage sector discussing the challenges and sharing experience https://t.co/opToNq7WnX

Not Whitley or seaside but have to share this - loved this place…sad times
to see this happening 😢 this was part of a #regeneration scheme in the 90s 😕 many businesses have been and gone but this one is just 💔

One of the emerging themes in my research findings is the prominence of colour, art, design and creativity in the identity of #WhitleyBay
Along with this, is the importance of its iconic buildings

A warm summer’s day and a beautiful film of the traditional British seaside holiday. A Punch and Judy show, pony and trap rides on the beach, ice cream, donkey rides and smartly dressed parents and grandparents. This is Whitley Bay in the 1960s.

What was so special about Hendrix the coastal cat? https://t.co/dx2Pypkmwu

[Michael Wood @Michaeldwood74]

Had a good conversation with @BBCNEandCumbria about a year of progress in the project to restore @TynemouthPool. A complex site, that has helped and been helped by @future_lidos. Lots more still to do secure funding and an operator to shape the site. https://t.co/gc2ZaNztTE

[Tynemouth Pool @TynemouthPool]

All that effort you made last Summer to almost break the @NTCouncilTeam planning portal? Thank you. We've analysed this to build the evidence base to help support our project and the wider @future_lidos movement across the UK and Ireland. We'll share more next month.

[Tynemouth Pool @TynemouthPool]

Happy to see this project come to fruition! Everyone loves an ice cream. https://t.co/iIKAjQ25VO

Perfect reading to add to my list for a chapter on #regeneration and #gentrification at the #seaside

#WhitleyBay

[Dr David Jarratt @DavidJarratt1]

My chapter is titled 'The Role of Place Image in the Decline and Rejuvenation of Traditional English Seaside Resorts'. It deals with placeism and class amongst other things.

[SeasidePhD @SeasidePhD]

@DavidJarratt1 Excellent! And great timing - will add it to my reading list for writing up!
