Amble's Own Tin Pots

[billconn]

Broomhill was not the only place to have a place called Tin Pots. The area from East cemetery to Links Farm had its own Tin Pots. It also covered tha area up to the Old Lord Mayor's Pavillion where 2 families lived. Is there a map showing the old military site on the Links. I can remember it well as my father had just got out of the RAF and there where a number of families lived there.

Some RAF aerial photos from the war in there of the Lord Mayor's camp as well.
We discovered a few thing as the thread went along.

I lived there from 1950, and there was lots of military buildings still in the area, the gun post was later converted into a café and behind it was the Amble Body Builders Club, which was part of the old ammunition bunker,
there was a large incinerator, still working with a large chimney and I am pretty certain that the local refuse trucks delivered waste to it. As well as our family others that I can remember where the Darling's, Hatch's Common's
Close's and the wooden building next to the cemetery was a shop. There a lot more families there but I would have to check with my sister Sylvia as to who they where, she is a font of knowledge of our time down there.
