A Little Light
Taken from either end of the north pier, or Radcliffe Quay, at Amble.
Traditional Northumbrian fishing vessels known as cobles have taken shelter in Amble’s natural harbour for centuries and in 1988 a new fish dock was opened for the three seine netters and approximately 20 cobles still working. As a result of this a fishing fleet still works out of Amble.
Warkworth Harbour still has two main quays - Broomhill Quay is the busy main quay where the fishing boats are moored whereas the Radcliffe Quay, beyond the fishdock, is much quieter. Funded by English Partnerships, Amble Pier and Breakwater was completely refurbished and the work was completed early in 2000.
The Breakwater and Pier were officially re-opened by Jack Charlton on 21 May 2000. Unfortunately a part of the harbour wall on the Broomhill Quay suffered a partial collapsed in the late summer of 2008 due to massive flooding which left many areas of Northumberland badly damaged. It reopened after repairs in August 2013.
