Old Amble 1895

[janwhin]

Morpeth Herald 20 April 1895: "Most places have old time associations, and Amble, though a comparatively new town, has a few. One of these is an old building on the Warkworth Road, and one of the commonest expressions in the local vocabulary is "Alang Warkworth Road past the Grennery". Originally intended for the storage of grain long before railways were in vogue, it has passed through many vicissitudes. First a granary, afterwards a dwelling house, a herring curing shed, a saw mill, and latterly a boat house. Lately it has been in a very dilapidated condition, and it is understood the stones are to be used to build villas at the Beal Bank. Thus one of the few old places in and around this modern town vanishes forever."
