Historic England Aerial Photography
 

Worth checking out the new facility on the website. Some good shots of Amble and Warkworth in the late 1940s.

That's interesting; the second photo link.
My earliest recollections, late 60s early 70s of the quarry were that it was full of rubbish heaps, old cars and allsorts. Not empty and flooded like in the photo, apart from a small corner where the sea passed through a hole in the quarry wall. I guess most of the rubbish dumping must have been from the time of the photo to the late 60s.

When I was growing up (1950s) the quarry was full of water although stuff was being thrown in. Lads used to go shooting rats! I think there was at least one drowning, danger of getting entangled in something in the water.

Bobby Honey seems to ring a bell?

The quarry drowning was a boy called Thomas Hall of Melrose Gardens, Bobbie Honey drowned in the sea.
