Northumberland’s beaches attract plentiful praise and national recognition for their quality and are valued as one of the county’s great natural assets nowadays.
But this is nothing new, as an exhibition which opens tomorrow shows. From the middle of the 19th century, the beaches have attracted a steady stream of visitors.
‘Beside The Seaside: 150 Years of Northumbrian Beach Holidays’ will run throughout the summer until August 30 at the Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery in Alnwick.
