I seem to recall that the lower land to the immediate north was described as 'reclaimed' in the supermarket site investigations? Probably just the Victorians dumping building rubble from the construction of Amble over the years?
Did Robert Beal not live down there?
Here's the 1920s map, (two maps joined together) I totally forgot about those public toilets. Perhaps they were the Radcliffe Arms - Was it not the done thing in mid Victorian times not to include wcs inside buildings?. Not sure about pubs.
