John1935, I have sent you a private message.  From what you have posted here I have assumed that you were a seagoing adventurer.   My PM refers to www.shipsnostalgia.com . You may be aware of the site, but if not there is a section relating to colliers, and there is much reference to such ships which sailed from Blyth, Tyne, and elsewhere in the North East.

Hi
My mother worked at Harper's fish shop till 1951She knew Tommy and his wife Hannah she said 3 brothers owned it. They owned fishing boats named Jean and Shirley too.Lovely market in those days and Woolworths. I remember the police box at the top end of the market and the circle outside the Central cinema where old men met up for a natter.

Thank you so much for the information. I met my aunt Hannah only a few times but she was so fun thank you for sharing.
