Chevington Burn

[mitch1968]

Can anyone shed any light on why the mouth of the burn was called the "mooth"(pronounced like "smooth" without the S at the front). ?was it simply our northumberland accent,or,east chevington slang?
I remember fishing there in the mid/late 70s with my mates from Hadston,we would catch small flatfish, eels and once a sea trout on a hand line!!
On google maps the burn looks nothing like it used to back then;the open cast road and bridge seem gone and the actual course of the burn has changed as it meets the sea.
