TyneMouth Borough Police were separate from the old Northumberland Constabulary, until 1968, when Tynemouth Borough lost their independence. !and they were merged with Northumberland.  I do not know when Tynemouth was formed.  Another independent force was the River Tyne Police, and they too were assimilated in 1968, as was Tynemouth Borough. All the old North Eastern forces, including those south of the Tyne had a minimum height requirement of 5'10" to qualify for acceptance.
Search the web for 'British Police History' and you will find dozens of entries re old 'defunct' forces, and current forces, together with many old photos therein.
Best of luck in your search and if you find what I have suggested you may well find much info. re Tynemouth Boro'.

Anton1, Welcome to RootsChat. I remember this post and I contributed once re Lance and Harry Wood.  I cannot help re your query, but searching here on Roots for 'Blyth History' you will possibly find more information as to what you are looking for. AND again in this Northumberland section there is also a separate section/chapter entitled,... 'Bebside v. Cowpen' . That too may be useful for you.
Good hunting.

I first watched this film at my grandparents house when about 16 years of age.  They were out for a few hours, and glad that they were - parts of the film still bring tears to the eyes, even now.  I have seen a colourised version on TV, but the original b/w has all the magic.
Henry Travers was nominated for an Oscar- best supporting actor for his role.
Whilst searching Friday re Henry, one site mentioned that he was born in Berwick-upon-Tweed, and a second also gave incorrect information re his place of birth.
I hope this posting prods someone into looking into this family name.

Well, are you sitting comfortably?

Bests,
Skoosh.

I was getting interested in this post, as many years ago, with my spade I went digging for lugworms and ragworms west of the north staithes at Blyth, (always bearing in mind the approaching tide)  That was quite a muddy, messy job, but what Skoosh has posted has dampened by enthusiasm for digging.
 

Here on the Northumberland section there is a new subject, posted by Belfordian, - Church Street, Blyth.  There are 2-3 links in that post which relate to old maps.  Curiosity on my part - I linked on one and found that there was a Blyth Ferry just on the south side of the Dun Cow pub.  About the 1850s, prior to the High Ferry (chain ferry), and the 'middle' ferry (?) which took you over to the staithes near the Seven Stars pub.
Another gem discovered regarding Blyth.
