Happy Days

A Memory of Newbiggin.

I was born in 1948 and lived in Newbiggin By the Sea a lot of my life. The cafe was called the Lido and I would spend hours in there listening to the juke box, it was the only way I could get to hear the latest pop music. The ice cream was good but my friends and I used to have a coffee as it lasted longer. Sadly the Lido is now closed, I think the last time I was in there when it was still an ice cream cafe was 2005 ish, perhaps someone can fix the date for me?
