This sign points towards the housing estate which lies between the Tyne & Wear Metro light railway line & Whitley Bay High & Valley Gardens Middle Schools. The narrow link path is not shown on the 1:25K Ordnance Survey map of the area as it squeezes between the Allotment Gardens and the most northerly end property in Langdale. The track, which runs from Monkseaton in the south to The Avenue near Seaton Delaval Hall in the north, is now a well-used recreational path following the course of the old Avenue Branch of the Blyth & Tyne Railway.
