photo 1 - Tuxedo Royale
The Historic Tuxedo Royale on the River Tees had been serving up pure brilliance for over 50 years. It was one of the most unique places on earth. Even though the nightclub finally surrendered to the tides, many of its unique owners said it was the end of an era, with most moving on to newer, more modern venues. In the spring of 2019, the Tuxedo Royale finally left Middlesbrough to return to its foundry to be broken down into ingots.

There used to be a floating nightclub under the Tyne Bridge, called Tuxedo Princess, and later Tuxedo Royale. Tuxedo Royale took over the role of Tuxedo Princess when she was temporarily relocated to Glasgow. The Tuxedo Royale was relocated to Middlesbrough after the Tuxedo Princess returned. During its heyday, it was THE place to be. The locals called it 'the boat' or 'the Tux'.

photo 26 - Bandstand
During the Victorian era, a growing concern for health and wellbeing led to the development of public parks and gardens. Music was viewed as a powerful influence on moral health, resulting in the development of bandstands as sites of communal entertainment funded by local authorities and wealthy benefactors. In their early years, bandstands were often adorned with striking and intricate features, however the Second World War impacted the materials available and the leisure habits of people. Between 1945 and 1980, almost 600 bandstands were lost. The late 20th and early 21st centuries saw renewed interest in the importance of public parks, which led to a series of regeneration and restoration activities. Brand new bandstands have been unveiled and many historic bandstands have been brought back to life.
