I've had this book in Leeds with me for a while, I borrowed it from home but forgot I had it. Looking through, there are some really nice snapshots of not only the North East, but of the area at a certain time, as well as industries and trades that are on the decline. (Also my mam is in the book, slide 6)
I made a note of some terms that I may look into further:
• Trade, industry and craft
• Shipbuilding + repair
• Compass makers
• Boatbuilding
• Sail makers
• Charts + navigation
• "Northumbrian Water Authority" - marine life - water conditions
• Lifeboat - Volunteer Life Brigade - cliff rescue
• Fishing - commercial - industry - past-time
• Radio - communications
