Black's Corner plans to transform Seaburn tram shelter

[Thackeray]

Wow, two chip shops, an amusement arcade, a Morrisons and now a converted bus stop. Putting the French Riviera to shame. When's the Grand Prix coming?

When was the last time you've been down there?

Why is it so important that we have “shelters”? I can honestly say I’ve never used a shelter in my adult life. Is it just in case it rains? Are there people out there who run for cover at the first sign of precipitation?

Massive supporter of this ! Excellent news! Can't wait !
I am a massive fan of their charcuterie plates.

In the meanwhile, whilst planning application is ongoing, I hope the tram shelter can be used as a pop-up 'Red Devils' fanzone for the Euro 2020 final Belgium v. Ukraine

Dreary me, would be interesting if these moaners come up with solutions and ideas for once.
Instead it’s moan moan Moan.
Car parking and replacing a rotting shelter, class.

The nimbys were celebrating the to let signs being taken down a couple of weeks ago.

I was hoping it would open as the "Even Newer Monkey". Bit underwhelming really.

 

[70YearsOfHurt]

This sounds great. Really don't understand why some people are moaning about this. People need to move with the times.

Gave you a like. I agree. However Sunderland was raped by greed and destruction of wonderful buildings became comonplace (Town hall). Let us cherish the few that remain as well.

The people who want it preserved as a tram shelter that they never used and barely thought about until someone suggested doing something different will be outraged.

I've never used the lighthouse or the death wall or small seating area on the top as you head to roker etc . It's managed to do canny so far 70 years after trams finished ,hardly an eyesore .
Put a cafe on the roundabout, that looks crap

 

[bobster999]

The New Mexico 70 place looks like it will be canny as well

Hopefully the sea air makes their staff a bit happier and customer focused.... always feel like I’m intruding when I’m in there.

 

[Gronkowski]

Need to leave it as its "our history" and because old people walk their dogs, according to the latest fb comments ffs

 

[beverly macca]

It’s not really gonna change is it?

it’s still gonna smell of warm cheese in the summer.

You must of led a sheltered life
Shelters are an iconic piece of British seaside culture
Keep it as it was intended
Seen loads of people use it when they require shelter from rain or just sit and eat packed lunches

it might stop all those lasses on a morning doing boot camps parking in the disabled parking bays

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Len won't stand for this

 

[Nookie Bear]

Has the scullery closed down in Roker ?

Basically the last shelter along the prom towards Whitburn. Before you get to the bents cottages.

 

[bobster999]

its right on the beach front, those huts that have had the shutters down for years
