Wallsend, West Street, Lindisfarne Social Club

The Lindisfarne Social Club was founded in 1966 by a group of Catholic men from the parish of Our Lady and St Columba. John Hay was the original treasurer and he collected two shillings per week from each man. Anyone donating £5 would be a founding member. Italo Marchi and Frank Devine were the driving force behind the project. Rev Fr Philips was the original club chaplain. Built by Snowden Bros of Sunderland. Vaux breweries financed the project. The club contained a restaurant which was unusual at the time. In order to raise revenue parties, wedding bookings and social evenings were orgnanised. Refurbished c.2009.
