A clock showing twenty to one at the top of a light blue post. The coast is in the background and the sky is blue with white clouds.

A huge choux bun on a plate, with masses of cream, chocolate on top, and an edible decoration that says Spanish City.

First proper stop: Whitley Bay. We've had a walk along the coast and come to Spanish City for the hugest choux buns I've ever seen.

The Lightning Clock (2001) Sculptor: Andy Plant Location: The Royal Quays, North Shields. Materials: Copper, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron and Fibre Glass. The Lightning Clock is 30 ft high, consisting of two beaten copper spheres fixed to a stainless steel column resting on a cast iron base with a fibre glass weatherman figure. At the base of the column meteorological instruments give the temperature, wind speed and wind direction and barometric pressure. Like a giant Van Der Graaf Generator, two spheres balance on top of a metal lightning strike which has exploded into the ground. In the larger sphere the North Wind rests. On the smaller sphere the weatherman rests enjoying the calm. As the hour approaches, all comes to life, the weatherman pulls a lever, the sound of thunder is heard. The face of the North Wind rotates, eyes rolling, and blows out smoke to knock the weatherman off his feet. Gradually, the storm dies down, all is quiet again... until the next hour strikes.

A fine day in #NorthShields

Backworth railway station in North Tyneside, c.1910

The original station opened on 27th June 1864 and was called Hotspur before the name changed to Backworth in the summer of 1865.

The station had a single storey building with waiting rooms that survived until the station was closed in 1977
