New Publication
 
Picked up a booklet yesterday in the Alnwick TIC, called Old Amble and Warkworth by Guthrie Hutton, published 2014.
It's got plenty of photographs and old postcards from around Amble and Warkworth, some of which I haven't seen before. Also one, identical to mine in the photo gallery on our sister site, of the boy's football team of 1926/7 :)
There's a good bit of text, I've yet to read. Acknowledgements to a George Nairn and Alnwick and Amble Libraries, plus websites too numerous to mention.
On another tack, my great great niece (phew) was given a book, along with her schoolmates, on Amble. It goes back to the beginnings and was written by her teacher. I asked in Amble post office about it, they'd heard of it but didn't have it.

Just got hold of a book today entitled " Old Radcliffe", tales and memories of life in old Radcliffe by Edward Wallenburg (1902-1990)
Ted Wallenburg wrote this down in the late 1960's. The book was funded by the late Jim Shepherd of Amble who knew Teds daughter from schooldays and got the draft from her. Have just started to read it and it seems most interesting.
