Default Butts at Warkworth

A fairly common card from the Monarch series of the Butts at Warkworth.
Noticed the tipping of material, rubbish by the look of it, on the river bank.
That area of river bank is much wider now? full of old bottles?

Trying to get my bearings on these Coquet. So I'm looking at the road before it turns up past the Sun? The houses in the back are running down Castle Hill with the burgage plots behind?

Yes that's the place. Brown's Green's yard is absent just a stand of trees on the left. (now new houses)

think the photographer must be about here:

Greens Yard Coquet, they were established in the 1700's but not much sign of the yard as we knew it.

Yes memory 'colour' failure there. (now corrected). Wow, That's an old company, and not that long gone?. They have been mentioned a few times in newspaper extracts on here I think.

I guess this one is a bit further along. Church in the middle I think.
Wonder if there are one or two more old cards to get us up to the bridge?

Can anyone remember which houses have actually flooded in and around the Butts before the flood defences were put in place ?

Yes I can, without stating the obvious, they were the ones immediately behind the new flood defences.
Last time was sept 2008.
