We found this a fascinating insight into local history and thoroughly enjoyed listening to the accounts and looking at the photographs you've assembled. Great work, Andy. Thank you.

Fascinated by this. As a Wylam lad I walked to Newburn Bridge many times and know the wreck on the south side by the old ferry. Thank you.
