Whitley Bay's iconic Grant's Clock set to return after being damaged during Storm Arwen

Whitley Bay's iconic Grant's Clock is hoped to be back in action by the end of this month after being severely damaged during Storm Arwen.

Grant's Clock, located opposite the former Rex Hotel, was damaged during last year's brutal storm. Storm Arwen left approximately 18,000 North East homes without power and claimed the lives of three people across the UK.

The storm saw the clock face torn from its column back in November last year. North Tyneside Council aims to unveil the restored landmark by May 28 with the mayor doing the honours.
