Whitley Bay history
Early history
Whitley was first mentioned around 1100 when King Henry I conferred it with other possessions on the Priory of Tynemouth. It was connected with the Crusades when Pope Nicholas IV granted to Edward I the first-fruits and tenths of all ecclesiastical possessions for six years to defray the expenses of an expedition to the Holy Land.
19th century to present
The town was known as Whitley until the 1890s, by which time confusion with Whitby, in North Yorkshire, regularly caused mail to be misdirected. Many residents still refer to the town as ‘Whitley’ The North Tyne Loop railway line opened in 1882, connecting the coastal villages to Newcastle. The majority of the town including Whitley Bay and Monkseaton are now part of the Metropolitan Borough of North Tyneside.
