hi,i have lived in whitley bay all my life and yes park view was also whitley road....changed about 1935, i have a lovely little story about RYLES shop that you may not be aware of.
       The boiler room for the shop was round the back,and was looked after by a man whos son went on to greater things, ian la franais..writer of THE LIKELY LADS etc......and i know that while he and his brother were youngsters it was a great aventure to spend winter nights in that boiler room with thier father.
       As mentioned RYLES was a posh shop and indeed my sister had a saying, im saving up for a holiday a and to go to RYLES !!.
