Nostalgic memories of Warkworth's local history

Share your own memories of Warkworth and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Further to my message re my mum's birthplace at the barn; I also had a very dear aunt who ran a guest house at No.27 Castle Street. Aunt Mary and uncle Tony would look after my brother Brian and me in our holidays away from London...what great times we had in the boats on the Coquet, we never ever caught any salmon! Would like to hear from any one who knew Aunt Mary.
I am trying to find if someone has an old school photo circa 1917/8/20. My mum was born at the Old Barn just along the lane, off Warkworth Ave. She was always camera shy so all I have as a memory is chance sneak photos taken on the quiet. I thought that someone might have an old school group photo in their album somewhere. Her maiden name was Hilda Mary Watson but I think that there was a family break up as the surname of the Gran I knew, firsty at Dial Place and then Warkworth Ave, was Lishman
