Splendid hall with sprung dance floor. Known fondly as "The Mem". Lindsay Allason-Jones, Director of Museum of Antiquities said "it is without doubt one of the most stunning examples in the north east. The proportions are perfect, and the building's façade is adorned with finely-detailed Ionic and Doric attached columns, fluted Ionic pilasters and superb split pediments. It really is a wonderful building" {1}. The hall, commissioned at the end of the First World War by Sir John Hunter, was unveiled 15th August 1925 by Lieut-Gen Sir G.H. Harrington and was dedicated by Rev. A.C.E. Jarvin, Chaplain to HM Forces. Inside the main room has columns with bold entablature along the walls. The room could accommodate an audience of around 1200. It had a special dance floor and a stage at the west end. The building also included retiring rooms, a large kitchen with service lift and a cinema box. "THIS HALL IS ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF MEMBERS OF THE STAFF AND WORKMEN OF SWAN HUNTER AND WIGHAM RICHARDSON LTD WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 1939-1945". The hall was designed by Frank Caws of Sunderland. It is a stone building with the main elevation in cast concrete. It cost £25,000. There were some proposed improvements in 1926 including a badminton court and a rest room with refreshment buffet and billiards table. The glazed roof of the ballroom was boarded over around 1941 to protect it from bombing. The centre strobe light and pendant light fittings probably date from this time. The hall was upgraded in the 1990s and now serves as a community hall {www.newmp.org.uk}. Singer Sting (Gordon Sumner) is the hall's Cultural Patron. The building has undergone a £1.4 million restoration.
The hall was Grade II listed in 2013, including the associated war memorial (HER 7362).

Club
SITEDESC
Tyne Steam Packet Provident Society Club House. As early as the 16th century the keelmen of the Tyne felt the need to protect themselves from the hardships that sickness and death could bring to their families, and they founded a Mutual Aid Society and a hospital. The years brought many changes, notably the invention of steam tugs on the Tyne, but through it all the river men continued to run funds for the benefit of their less fortunate fellows. In 1853 they registered as a friendly society, under the name Tyne Steam Packet Provident Society. They registered as a trade union in 1871. In the 1920s the Society changed its name to the North East Coast Tugboatmen & Fishermen's Association.

Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen. 1952 by George H. Gray & Partners. A modernist building which has design cues from its maritime context. Balconies, porthole windows and curved frontage. Social significance derived from its links with the fishing industry. Site once occupied by two public houses, the Newcastle Arms and the Lord Collingwood. The Collingwood family of Chirton sold the site to Charles Connacher in 1904. It was bought by Tynemouth Council in 1937 and sold to the Mission in 1950. The North Shields Fishermen's Mission had been established in 1897 to give spiritual and practical support to fishermen and their families. A watching brief in 2009 by TWM ahead of the redevelopment of a piece of land adjacent to 52 Bell St revealed a post-medieval building made of sandstone blocks built upon made ground.

Opened 27 June 1925 arising from a campaign since the turn of the century following the annual loss of life amongst Victorian and Edwardian trippers unused to the cold and the currents of the North Sea. It was originally built without provision for changing rooms. The pavilion at the cliffside was not opened until 2 July 1927. The queue to use the pool often stretched along the Grand Parade. Users entered through a turnstile.
“Miss Tynemouth” and “Bonny Bairns” competitions took place. The open-air swimming pool has been filled in to create a rock pool but is largely disused. The pool now acts to protect the beach and cliff from further erosion. Converted to a rock pool in 1996. Recorded in Feb 2016 ahead of proposed re-development.
