Hello Everyone.....who am i?..well I was born in Ashington in 1970 and lived in Amble at 16 Edwin Street until about 1976 when my family moved to North Humberside near Hull. My Father worked in Amble as a Plumber for Rowles. My Fathers parents lived in Amble at 4 Lindisfarne road next door to Bill Bell and Mr and Mrs Lillico , Mrs Straffen lived opposite them in a large bungalow. They were in their eighty's when they moved nearer to the family near Hull.
My Grandfather ran a tobacconist and confectionary shop in Amble where Marks Pet supplies is now (Thanks Google Street Maps).
My grandmother was born in Warkworth where her parents ran a bakers ( I believe)
We brought my grandparents ashes back "home" and up until a few years ago was still a regular visitor to Amble - but sadly not for the past few years as we now have a young family.
Still in love with the coast line and castles and have many happy memories of my life spent up in Amble and surrounding area.
Will be showing the kids around the area sometime this year - fingers crossed.
..anyway...that's me.
