Would hope not, it’s not even the best chippy in Whitley never mind the North East, some nice Italian gelato next door though.

Tsunami Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hope his son is tall for his age. Tonali must be buzzing with our Riviera, could have least told him to go to Tynemouth or up the coast the other way. He could have waited a week for Whitley Bay and the delights of the Food Festival.

Miggys First Goal Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Somebody drive him up to Bamburgh and show him the Northumberland coastline. Whitley Bay, man. He’ll be on the first plane back to Italy at this rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Whitley is Northumberland coastline man. Anyway he'll have plenty time to meet yokels further north, but for now he can settle in and enjoy civilization. Hope he got to meet Jonny Decker.

"I'm after a 3 bed flat, 2 Moretti and a Prosecco please" Also, took the mother in law to an opticians near North Parade (?) and they offered us a laminated sheet giving a choice of complementary drinks. It was 11am. Woman said all we could choose was the non alcoholic stuff, teas and coffees etc etc. The list of beers was for after 1pm ? He wears glasses, doesn't he?

You'll struggle to find a street in a town of this size that have as many great independent businesses as Park View does. The main centre around Whitley Road is ropey but even so it's not dead. It's just a rough town centre that poor people happen to live near. It has shops and businesses that I use every single day (including a great cinema!). I probably wouldn't say the same if I lived near Tynemouth High St, as lovely as it is for a day/night out. Honestly town centres are struggling all over the country, even in some of the wealthiest areas. Gosforth High St is pottered with empty units at the moment. Not just the economic situation of running small businesses but the extinction of high street uses entirely leaving marquee buildings unused (see all high st banks closing branches). Most places just probably have too many retail/business uses these days as there's only so many coffee shops you can open. The southern end of Whitley Road is obviously the worst bit of the town at the moment (although it's actually finally seeing some life over last 12 months) but I just don't know if the place is big enough to support what is effectively two high streets.

BoSelecta Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Whitley is absolutely cracking now, anyone sayings it’s a dump is living in the past; development going on all over the place as well. Give it a couple more years and even south parade/esplanade might get cleaned up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I went to Whitley Bay and all those places for the first time last year. Absolutely love it there. Went back when I was over in May. Would be surprised if Sandro doesn't like it there tbh. Maybe people from the area are.. used to it? I dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I left Whitley when I was 18 and returned in December last year as a 36-year old. Whitley Bay is absolutely class now. Was a proper decaying seaside town all through my youth, known only for being a shitty stag do / hen do spot on South Parade. Now, the beaches are amazing, the dome is class, there are some really good restaurants and as mentioned, Park View is one of the nicest high streets going outside of some of the really rich areas around the country.

Delighted to be back Preach brother! I'm sitting outside having Italian coffee and lunch in probably the ropiest bit of the town right now, with one of the roughest pubs opposite. It's changing all the time. Personally I love that it's not too gentrified (yet). (this is the cafe btw - definitely worth a visit if you haven't been in yet) Edited July 17, 2023 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 +1 for the Whitley Massive. I grew up there and it's come along a hell of a lot in even the last 10-12 years. It's a great place to be - loads of nice bars and restaurants springing up all over the place, sea front cleaned up, dome refurbished, shopping centre. When you visit seaside towns elsewhere in the UK there are plenty of utter shitholes that are nowhere near as nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
