Dark times, but the folks in a local, newly-refurbished bar and hotel found an old booking form in a drawer. They're offering a 2-night stay - at the cost of the original deposit - to the original guests (or maybe even their descendents?).
It would great to track these folk down and brighten up their day.
Can the STW sleuths work their magic?
I can't see the image 🙁
I can.👍
Oooh, good challenge.
Using Rightmove to search house sales in Westlea Avenue draws a blank....but there is a Westley Avenue in Whitley Bay.
No3 has been sold twice - 1995 & 2012 - since the date on the booking form.
Some options:
- hotel owners could write to 'the occupiers' and ask if they have any contact details for previous owners who, presumably, bought from Mrs Henderson.
- if anyone has credits for 192.com they could search, speculatively, for Hendersons in Whitley Bay
- contact local council (North Tyneside, I guess) asking if they could check old electoral roles
- hotel owners could contact BBC Radio Newcastle, Metro Radio, Evening Chronicle and NewsGuardian asking for their help by broadcasting an appeal/putting an article in the paper; could also be good marketing for the hotel
- there is also a Whitley Bay and Tynemouth F/B group
4 adults and a cot in 1991....could be grandparents, parents and new baby; if that was the group, it's possible grandparents could still be alive.
Looking again at booking form....4 adults, 2 children, 1 cot so does that mean 2 children inc baby or 2 plus baby?
Either way, could be 2 couples - not necessarily grandparents & parents.
There’s a lot of Henderson’s in Whitley bay. Including a councillor.
There’s also a funeral in 2012 and 2013, house was sold in 2012.
Probably actually quite easy to find the originals with a bit of phoning round and a few quid on 192.com if they really wanted to find them.
I know some people from Whitey Bay let me try and see.
I know someone called Henderson from Newcastle area.
Drac, no need to be racist....Whitey Bay.
I had a few Whiteys in Whitley Bay on bank holidays.
Hmmm, I live in Whitley Bay and know someone called Henderson.
But they're from Scotland.
Also no 'Westlea' Avenue but there is a 'Westley'.
As they're self-isolating, go to Westley avenue and you'll find the Hendersons will all be there.
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair, what a scene
