Bolckows at North Blyth

[callyc]

Hi everyone I am looking for a colour picture, and also the new wherabouts of the FIGUREHEAD that used to stand in the entrance of Bolckows shipbreakers in North Blyth. It is for an exhibition we are organising - pictures of old and older North Blyth and surrounding places and people - all contributions gratefully accepted
Thanks in advance!
Tight Lines!
Carol

You could also try the people who did The Spirit of the Staithes exbo at the old drill hill in Blyth.
They had lots of pics of the river area.
