POV

I'm pretty sure King Edward Bay is not a reference to Edward II. It was named just over a century ago and was always known as the Short Sands. King Edward Road leading out of the village is named after Edward VII so likely the same. Luan Hanratty (talk) 16:11, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Highly unlikely that the Spanish Battery was manned by "Spanish mercenaries in the 16th century" -- a time when England was perennially at war with Spain. The sensible explanation is that it was established as a gun battery to ward of the potential threat from the Spanish Armada in 1588. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.126.92.2 (talk) 10:42, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm glad to see this article has been expanded. However, a lot of the current material is highly subjective and not encyclopaedic. To pick an example, The most upmarket restaurant in Tynemouth is probably "Sidneys"...it has a good value set menu at lunchtime.

I think it needs a bit more work than I can devote to it now so I'm merely noting this. -- Jon Dowland 12:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, also given that Wikipedia is not a travel guide, it needs to be heavily trimmed down. DWaterson 23:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree - and if you ask me from 10:30 is way too late to have breakfast - no matter how impressive CustardJack 12:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I've hopefully cleaned up the article sufficiently to make it less spammy, which has involved removing most of the hotels, pubs, restuarants and shops. For a travel guide to Tynemouth, see this revision. Bob talk 21:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I've tried to improve the structure of the history section and fill in some big gaps in the perambulation - Tynemouth Pier, Prior's Haven, Spanish Battery, Collingwood Monument, Black Middens. We still need something on the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade, which I don't have enough data to provide. One problem with this article is that it's hard to differentiate between Tynemouth and North Shields. The latter site has a lot of historical stuff about Tynemouth.

Village or town?

Is Tynemouth classed as a town or village? I know it used to be a county borough but that would have been because the district included the larger settlement of North Sheilds. I was asking because I would personally say Tynemouth was a town in its own right rather than a village but do not weant to change the article without some other comments on the matter Penrithguy (talk) 19:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Tynemouth (ship)

I just found a ref to this vessel here re its 1862 voyage to Victoria B.C. bringing "mail order brides" (actually they hadn't been mail-ordered but the idea was the same...) and mentioning its service during the Crimean War. There's no Tynemouth disambiguation page - maybe there should be? - but I thought I'd post this here anyway in case any of you Tynesiders might know about the vessel and maybe could write up a short article for it; no mention is made in that source of it being an "HMS" despite the Crimea connection.Skookum1 (talk) 16:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Introduction

I keep trying to improve this, in line with Wikipedia requests. For example, who needs to know the phonetic pronunciation of its name or that Neville Trotter used to be the MP? The introduction fails to capture the essence of the place, where I've lived for over fifty years. But every change I've suggested has been reversed by someone who seems to have a different agenda. Much of the current entry, apart from the introduction, was provided by me in 2010 (see above). The person who keeps blocking my suggested revisions would be better occupied in filling the gap about the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade.

Fish Quay Festival

This section seems far too big in comparison to the size of the article to me, and includes the history of the Fish Quay which isn't relevant to this page. A lot of subjective stuff in here as well e.g. "This was a disappointing end to a much-loved and much-attended event." --WhileNotTrue (talk) 08:35, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

pronunciation of the vowel in the town's name's second syllable

As an unstressed syllable, this vowel is likely to be a schwa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfedanon (talk • contribs) 16:05, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

"It is best known for Tynemouth Priory" – is there any citation for that? There's a lot more to Tynemouth that just the Priory. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 11:22, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
