Whitley Bay Golf Course, Whitley Bay, NORTH TYNESIDE. A view of scrapers at work on a spoil heap during the restoration of Whitley Bay Golf Course, following the completion of opencast mining on the site.
John Laing and Son Ltd had started opencast mining operations in 1942 to meet wartime needs. The work was expanded by the company after the war and in 1948 opencast coal mining took place at Golf Course Opencast Coal Site in the Monkseaton area of Whitley Bay. By 1953 the mine was closed and the land was reclaimed
