Newbiggin by the Sea, Northumberland, 1940 

I love Newbiggin. Everytime i come to the UK i always visit, there is something special about the place. Hi, from Tasmania, Australia.

One of those women who pulled the life boat in 1940 was Rosie Rowe my husband's grandmother she used to wait the lines knit the fishermen jumpers her picture with my husband is in the little museum we don't know what hard work is these days

I used to go and stay at my Nannas caravan she had in the park beside the church. Loved it. We used to walk across the big concrete blocks from the war in the bay and catch huge red crabs on handlines as the tide came in. Great days. Had a look on Google maps and they've moved the blocks from the bay to the otherside of Church Point to help with the erosion. .

Amazing culture , so advanced even in the 40s. 😊

My Grandmother Mary Hunter is on the "Hill" waiting to buy fish she`s got a long pinny and light colored V top on,

My hometown

Love this
