J Brodie
Thomas Campbell
T Dickinson
Henry Robertson

There is also a William Dobson listed in an 1888 directory as watchmaker, one of two, the other being Thomas Campbell.

Campbell did had an advert in that directory:

Thanks, that's got me off to a start. Don't suppose anyone knows what premises he occupied on Queen Street?
The reason for my interest is that I collect an antique pocket watch from each place I live. I like to research the maker and use that connection as a way of relating to my new home. My wife and I are moving to Amble in January so I'm starting to research what my next target watch might be.
I think I might struggle with tracking down an Amble watch, but that's half the fun.

This was either my Grandads or his fathers - now belongs to my brother whose name is......Jack Brown.
No makers mark but has a number if that means anything to you.
