Old Amble 1895
 

Morpeth Herald 20 April 1895: "Most places have old time associations, and Amble, though a comparatively new town, has a few. One of these is an old building on the Warkworth Road, and one of the commonest expressions in the local vocabulary is "Alang Warkworth Road past the Grennery". Originally intended for the storage of grain long before railways were in vogue, it has passed through many vicissitudes. First a granary, afterwards a dwelling house, a herring curing shed, a saw mill, and latterly a boat house. Lately it has been in a very dilapidated condition, and it is understood the stones are to be used to build villas at the Beal Bank. Thus one of the few old places in and around this modern town vanishes forever."

This is probably the Acklington foundry warehouse ?

Old building
 

Was it the building that was used for salvage items (paper/clothing/tin foil etc)in the late 1940s?

Salvage building on the braid.
 

This building had been part of the shipyard, I think it was the powerhouse. It was later, early 1960's, used for light engineering by Jackie Allan who was later Allans of Amble on the industrial estate.

Amble Grennary
 

I won't be going down the Amble/ Warkworth road any time soon but there is/was an old red pantiled stone building in the field half way along. I used to be told this was the oldest building around?

Pantiled biuildings.
 

There were in fact two of these buildings in the fields on the left side going to Warkworth, they were hemmels used by Jim Mossman who farmed that area.
