Title: Where did Sydenham Terrace, Whitney Bay go?
Post by: tonyvant on Sunday 28 August 16 13:58 BST (UK)
I have an address of Sydenham Terrace in Whitey Bay in 1939 but cannot find it.  I suspect it became The Avenue off Marine Avenue.

I used to live just round the corner 1959-1976 so this is driving me mad.

Please help.

If you search for Catherine BAGE born 18 Feb 1884 it will bring up Number 2 Sydenham Terrace, you can the work from there.

So Sydenham Terrace is now known as The Links. (very nice place too  :D )

I see that at one time 2, The Links was called Sydenham House (address of Mrs N.W. Hall)

Thank you one and all for your help and reading through my miss spelling (twice!) Of my home town.

So it was The Links.

Thanks

I think I have been misled by the statement on http://comrades-club.co.uk/?page_id=12 which says;

Here on North Tyneside the Whitley Bay and Monkseaton Comrades of the Great War Club was formed and its doors were first opened in 1920 when the first Members entered what was a converted private dwelling house at 14 The Links, Whitley Bay on the seafront.

The person who wrote that was probably giving the present address.

My father and I have played many a game of snooker in The Comrades Club.
