Photograph, circa 1900: 'The Dove Marine Laboratory celebrated its centenary in 1997. Initially the laboratory was a small wooden building sited next to the Salt Water Baths in Cullercoats Bay and was officially opened in October 1897. Regrettably this building was to last only7 years. It, along with the Salt Water Baths, a common feature of Victorian seaside towns was gutted by fire in March 1904.'
