Did anyone see the Channel 4 programme last night at 7 pm? It was about local history/archaeology of the coast and started with Northumberland. It dealt with Beadnell and the possible remains of an old pier and chapel, as well as discussing the lime kilns and the fishing industry; then on to a 1913 shipwreck off Howick of a French steam trawler; finally the creation of a swimming pool at Howick by Earl Grey. Very interesting.
