The story of the Spanish City
Fairground and its famous entertainment complex.
The history of Whitley Bay ’s Spanish
City is retold in a collection of nostalgic anecdotes and unseen

comprehensive record of the history of the world-famous Dome and
Spanish City Fairground.

shape'; 'The rides'; 'Riehl's Reel' (a chapter on the legendary
Virginia Reel ride); and 'The Corkscrew' (a chapter on the famous
1980s roller coaster, including colour images of its construction).
