Amble braid pre marina
My Thanks to Hollydog for posting the Arthur Young picture, it confirms just where the hut was in relation to my colour photo.
I remember a couple of us sitting infront of the hut making boats out of old tins
with paper sails and sending them over the river and firing stoes at them from catapults.
I also recall the RAF had a tip next to the Warkworth road, where there was quite often bits off planes and tins of airforce paint to get in a mess with.
Alan describes those days of adventure very well.
Its a pity the kids today dont have the same fun.
Best regards,
George Gray.
