Marden Quarry Park, Whitley Bay
The history of Marden Quarry dates back to 1684 when the land was leased for quarrying purposes. During its working life the quarry contained large lime kilns, a brickworks, a tower, which served as offices and an explosives store, and a number of cottages for quarry workers. When quarrying finally ended in 1880 at which time the site stretched from Hillheads Road to the north and covered both the rugby and cricket grounds to the west. Eventually, after lying unused for many years, the land was passed to the former Whitley Bay Borough Council and Marden Quarry Park, as we know it today, was subsequently created. The park was officially opened by Princess Margaret on November 22, 1977. Designated as a Local Nature Reserve, the park is home to a variety of breeding wildfowl including Mute Swans, Mallards, Moorhens, Coots and Tufted Ducks.

Not sure if this is a continuation of Station Street but it backs onto Jesmond Road in Whitley Bay. The trees on the left grow on the railway embankment and were full of birds.
