Silverlink Shopping Park

It was initially known as Tyneside Retail Park before becoming Silverlink Retail Park in the mid-1990s, taking the same name as the neighbouring Silverlink Industrial Estate. The Silverlink name is derived from the Silver Link locomotive that was once housed at the nearby North Tyneside Steam Railway museum. The 9-screen multiplex Odeon cinema on the site opened in 1999, was upgraded in 2015, and has an IMAX screen and uses RealD 3D technology. A £30 million extension was added to the shopping park in the late 2010s adding 4 additional retailers. That extension location had previously been a Travelodge hotel (formerly known as Europa Lodge and Moat House Hotel), who relocated to Cobalt Park.
