Sorry I didn't post this yesterday  I have read the book with mum and we do not recognize it as a Middlesbrough church, the only other one mum could think of is maybe St Peter's at Redcar, mind you if it is, it has changed over the years.
One other thing you could try is writing to the local paper for the area Evening Gazette and asking them to post it in the 'Where are you now' section - might be worth a try
I really hope you get to the bottom of your mystery

Hi
Thank you all very much. The suggested dates point to the wedding of a cousin that I have never met. This wedding is registered in the first quarter 1954 in what was then the Northumberland South registration district. I have an out of focus picture of this cousin as a child and the face and hair look very similar to the face and hair of the unknown bride. Gadget pointed to the hair as being not of the period and it looks as if she has kept much the same style from her childhood, in the 1930s.

She must be the same one  I'm still trying to recall the C of E church in Whitley Bay. I do recall that it was in a fairly built up area and could well be that Church. The entrance did have a pitched covered roof but the paths were all curved
However this was early 2000s and that was then

Ah yes, the 'crinoline' skirts.
And who remembers the half-slips made of stiffened net (often layered) to make the skirts stick out more - or made of Vilene.
http://www.fashion-era.com/1950s_glamour.htm#Paper%20Nylon%20And%20Net%20Petticoat%20Support%201950's
(Paper Nylon and Net Petticoat Support 1950s)
For the photo I'm sticking with early 1950s. The 1950 wedding I mentioned earlier with the almost identical dress would have been right up there with the latest of fashions; the dress was made by the mother of the bride who was a tailor and could not only make clothes using just a photo in a fashion magazine (drafting her own pattern - or just cutting out a dress by sight!) but also made up the most complicated of Vogue patterns. And none of the people in the 1950 wedding photos had bouffant hairstyles - just fairly natural styles.

Hi
Thank you all very much for helping especially Gadget and Slogger. Slogger solved it for me by identifying the building at the extreme right in the background as the "Fat Ox" Whitley Bay. I am now confident that the bride is a cousin, who I never met, at her marriage at St Paul's church, Whitley Bay in Spring 1954.
The recent photograph shows the that the Fat Ox retains the same windows but the gable end seems to have been cleaned up since 1954. Coming from the right the building next to the Fat Ox is similar to the 1954 building but then a section of the terrace has been completely rebuilt with a different roofline. Further along the road (off the left of the original picture) the terrace of shops is I think still as it was in 1954 and the roofline and windows more or less match the replaced section shown in the old photograph.
The memorials in the church yard seem to have changed or been moved about a bit since 1954. I imagine that that sort of thing has happened quite a lot in the recent past as churches try to reduce their maintenance costs or sadly in response to vandalism.
The research triggered a lost memory from another family member - the man in the photograph is not a relative but a friend (work) of the groom. The bride's father and step-father were both deceased at the time of the wedding and he kindly stepped in to give her away.
Thank you again and a Happy New Year

This is amazing.
If you remember, I sent the photo to someone I know who married at St Paul's Church, Whitley Bay and I attended the wedding! She said she didn't recognise your photo!
I assumed that they were walking out of the church and the background people were in the porch area. I couldn't recall it looking like that. Needless to say that as soon as I looked at your modern photo, I recognised the gates. I even have a photo of me outside it
