National Cycle Route 1 Victoria Crescent, Cullercoats
National Cycle Route 1 is part of the National Cycle Network, and is a 2,769 km-long cycle-path running from Dover to Shetland. As it passes through North Tyneside it hugs, as best it can, the North Sea coastline. At this point, it is also part of the England Coast Path which, when fully completed, will be the longest waymarked and managed coastal path in the world. In the background is the 1879-opened Watch House see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1635130 for further details.

Waggonways Interpretation Board, Cullercoats
Coal was mined locally and transported to Cullercoats Bay on horse-drawn waggonways from around 1626. The coal was used for heating salt pans at Cullercoats and some exported. Cullercoats colliery closed in 1723, followed by Whitley Colliery the following year.
The route of the 'lost' waggonway was researched by children from Rockcliffe First School, Cullercoats in 2007. Working with North Tyneside Council, they placed waymarking studs along the route and provided designs for three waggonways interpretation panels.

The fishing boat behind is the 10m 'Laura Jane II' registered in Chester. On 8th August 2007 the Tynemouth All Weather Lifeboat was launched to the Laura Jane II which had been fishing in an area known as the Playground south of the Tyne piers, when it sprang a leak. Its engine became swamped, but the skipper closed the sea cocks, stopping the leak. Cullercoats lifeboat had also been launched and as the Laura Jane II had earlier sailed from there it was decided that Cullercoats lifeboat would tow her back to safety http://www.tynemouth-lifeboat.org/
