Views of Amble & District R.G.McInnes
Picked up this one yesterday at 'Barter Books' - they had it dated as '[nd]1920'
Been looking for one for years. Think it is a fair bit earlier that 1920? The photos are anyway. Not really anything in it we've not seen. Just 18 plates with a few of those of Warkworth. |

Robert McInnes' son, also Robert, was killed in the great war serving as a officer with the Lancashire Fusiliers. I have his service papers somewhere.

Not sure what's going on in the harbour in front of the tug. Dredging I assume. There's one of those lighters alongside the crane vessel with a chute going into it.
I think most of this stuff was also produced as McInnes postcards |

I wonder what the submerged structure is in the last enlargement? the old Radcliffe Staithes crossed over there somewhere.

Another view of the mysterious timber top right. For beaching vessels on?

The ship in the photo S.S. Ellington appears to have been sunk in a collision in 1917.
