Re: Can you help info about Morpeth

It look as if the Inn is now called "The White Swan" Newgate Street, Morpeth. The 1911 cencus gives the address which is the same as the White Swan.I would like to know if that stirs anyones memory on what they might have heard over the years.


Thanks

Re: Can you help info about Morpeth

Just got my Grans marriage cert back and the pub was called the King Crispin Inn on Newgate Street. She lived there in 1903 onwards and the Inn is shown on the O.S. for 1896.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Their names were Cook and the family lived in a pub/inn called St Crispins and later at Ladies Walk. Does this pub still exis...

Re: "Bridlington Queen" Remember her?

Hello and thanks for the info. It was my uncle's firm Watercraft that built her and I can't understand it as the article says she was built in 1947. Stories to me over the years said she made three trips to Dunkirk during the war. I know my cousin has the original plans still and I will see if he ca...
