Demolition works on a derelict coastal "eyesore" are under way with plans to redevelop the site for housing.
The vacant former watering hole 42nd Street, on North Parade, Whitley Bay, was scheduled for demolition and redevelopment in September 2022 by North Tyneside Council. The pub closed its doors in 2018 and has been left to decay ever since.
North Eastern Holdings Ltd was permitted by the local authority to demolish the site and replace it with 19 two-bedroom apartments.
