RAF base at the North side, Amble, they had a cable to supply electricity which went under water from the area of the present lifeboat station and across the harbour. There must also have been a pipe for water supply as I can remember,as a boy, the harbour workers coupling hoses up to a hydrant in the same area and allowing it to stay connected for quite a while. This was presumably to top up their water tanks at the other side.
