Spanish City Update
« on: December 21, 2016, 05:07:20 PM »
North Tyneside Council have recently published an update on their YouTube channel, showing the plans for the Spanish City and surrounding area of Whitley Bay:

There's some nice aerial footage of "Mark's Plaza" if anyone's interested in having a look.

Wow, such a lovely place, no wonder it was so inspiring for young Mark. Better to restore it rather than to ruin it, so thumbs up! :thumbsup

Have you seen Brian Johnson´s "a life on the road¨". interview to MK.
There are TOL lyrics written on stairs by the right side of Spanish city building, by the beach. Near the place you may read "it was like taj majal for us"
Do you any live near bye?
