Whitley Bay is a seaside town on the north east coast of England. Historically in Northumberland, it is now part of Tyne and Wear.

Transport

Whitley Bay is around nine miles northeast of Newcastle upon Tyne.

The Tyne and Wear Metro line runs through the town with stations near the town centre (Whitley Bay), as well as in Monkseaton, West Monkseaton and Cullercoats. A Metro journey to Newcastle city centre takes around 25 minutes.

History

Whitley was first mentioned about the year 1100 when King Henry I conferred it with other possessions on the Priory of Tynemouth being referred to in ancient documents and maps before that date as Witelei, Wyteley, Hwyteleg, Witelithe, Wheteley, Wytheleye, Whitlaw, Whitlathe and Whitlag. Whitley is also referred to in the charters of King Henry II, King Richard I and King John, confirming to the priors their possessions and liberties.

Whitley was connected with the Crusades when Pope Nicholas IV granted to Edward I the first-fruits and tenths of all ecclesiastical possessions for six years to defray the expenses of an expedition to the Holy Land. A valuation was made of the spiritual and temporal goods of the Priory on 26 March 1292, when the yearly rents from Whitley were returned as 20 shillings, and the tithes as 9 marks.

Ponteio

by: Edu Lobo

Era um, era dois, era cem,
Era o mundo chegando
E ninguém que soubesse que eu sou violeiro,
Que me desse amor ou dinheiro.
Era um, era dois, era cem,
Vieram pra me perguntar:
"E você, de onde vai, de onde vem?
Diga logo o que tem pra contar."
Parado no meio do mundo
Senti chegar meu momento.
Olhei pro mundo e nem via
Nem sombra, nem sol, nem vento.
Quem me dera agora eu tivesse a viola pra cantar!
Era um dia, era claro, quase meio,
Era um canto calado, sem ponteio,
Violência, viola, violeiro.
Era a morte ao redor, mundo inteiro,
Era um dia, era claro, quase meio.
Tinha um que jurou me quebrar
Mas não lembro de dor nem receio,
Só sabia das ondas do mar.
Jogaram a viola no mundo
Mas fui lá no fundo buscar,
Se tomo a viola, ponteio,
Meu canto não posso parar, não!
Quem me dera agora eu tivesse a viola pra cantar!
Era um, era dois, era cem,
Era um dia, era claro, quase meio.
Encerrar meu cantar já convém,
Prometendo um novo ponteio.
Certo dia que sei por inteiro,
Eu espero não vá demorar,
Esse dia estou certo que vem,
Digo logo que vem pra buscar.
Correndo no meio do mundo,
Não deixo a viola de lado,
Vou ver o tempo mudado
E um novo lugar pra cantar.
Quem me dera agora eu tivesse a viola pra cantar!
