Whitley Bay Ice Rink
The Whitley Bay ice rink opened in 1955 where a team called Streatham Royals were the first players to compete and won 6-2, this was in front of over 2000 fans. The Whitley Warriors played here too attracting more fans. It was also the region's premier concert venue where bands like AC DC, Take That and Sting performed here, until the Newcastle Arena (now Metro Radio Arena) opened in 1995.
In 1975 my grandma's cousin's daughter started skating at the ice rink. She became an amazing ice skater! She even entered the Winter Olympics.
My grandma told me that there used to be a cafe upstairs but now it is a bowling alley, it hasn’t really change much from then until now!
The ice rink is important to me because lots of my family have enjoyed coming here over the years. When I was little I used to go to the Ice Rink with my dad. I was never very confident and I couldn't skate at all, but now I go every Saturday and I really enjoy it!
It is a very popular ice rink and there are lots of good skaters.
These are my ice skating boots and my bag which is shown in the photo above.
