Glad to know that the chippy is still there, we will most likely be in that area at sometime during our visit so will go there for our sausauge & chips, so Second Hand Rose is still there then?

The Red Hut is it still owned by a Scottish gentlemen?

Yes, I remember during the late 70's or was it the early 80's this was the case, mind you posting it on here can't be very good for tourism in South Shields.

So is it near to the funfair then, are there any maps availiable so I can see exactly where it is? Better still could any 1 take or does any 1 have any photographs of the park? I would love to know what it looks like.

I have found this and decided to book a caravan there, where abouts is the caravan park exactly and is it far from the beach?
