The rain has stopped so dodge the puddles and cycle into Whitley Bay. I tend to look up outside this building due to the amount of pigeons on the roof (poo) But a lovely building with a fab history.

Located in the centre of Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear. The Coliseum Theatre was opened on 14th May 1910. In May 1912 it became the Coliseum Grand Cinema. It was taken over by the military during World War I. It was extensively altered in 1919, reopening as the New Coliseum Cinema on 16th February 1920. It was taken over by the Associated British Cinemas(ABC) chain on 23rd December 1929 and they made further alterations to the building.

It was briefly taken over by an independent operator from 22nd November 1970, until it finally closed as a cinema on 1st May 1971. It became an independent bingo club.

Cycled back via the Metro and had a look inside the station.
