Played in there in 1950's the amusement park part... my great-aunts lived across from rollercoaster; Granny on Marden Road. Spent a fair time in the town then... some whimsey there!

Spanish City to me: 1980s was the Ghost Train and the Roller Coaster, 1990s was the boy racers who used to zip along the front every weekend, 2000's was the Hairy Lemon and 42nd Street, 2010's was the Fire Station... and this year I got a bag of chips from the newly developed 'Spanish City' and paid £15 for fish and chips. A long way from "going crazy on the waltzers".

Looks better already after a re-coat of paint. Looking forward to the completion of the project.

It'll be interesting to see if this brings the thousands of holiday makers who used to visit Whitley for the Amusements, the beach and the banging nightlife back..... I doubt it, but that's OK the residents/council have what they wanted a quiet peaceful sleepy town that no one visits for longer than a day.

I honestly remember being at school (the school across the road where the fair was) and when they finally raised up the flag you knew it was finished.
