original Estuary and river course was north of Amble and current course as you know, 1764 changed . prior to that a harbour is referred to as I said above. , also birling? Warkworth New Town 14th century recorded and as having Moorings for Fishing vessels , and the main male population listed as Fishermen and Sailors ?In 16th century A pinnace came ashore at the Coquet mouth of, Further north it was brought up river as close to castle as possible and masts sails and cargo moved to castle ,
all prior to course change , i am just an interested party with only my collection of a few old Northumberland books to refer to, no access to official records , other than what i come across or told by local residents as was case in original post
,I will always bow to superior knowledge.
But there again one book I have refers to the Castle at Alnmouth ??????the Book is 200 plus years old ,
