Description

Perfect example of a traditional seaside ice cream parlour. One of the very few remnants of Whitley Bay's heyday as a popular seaside resort. This landmark building is much loved by generations of locals and visitors. Edwardian seafront leisure facilities in brick with Diocletian windows. An atmosphere of time gone by. Internal lighting, floor coverings and counter survive. Shown on Ordnance Survey 4th edition. LOCAL LIST
