the receding waters leave  tide marks of coal dust at the mouth of the river Coquet at the once thriving coal exporting port of Amble in Northumberland

Amble Harbour

Amble lies at the mouth of the river Coquet on the Northumberland coast, it once served as a  port for coal exports from the once thriving mining industry in Northumberland. The port  now has a thriving marina for leisure yachts but also still supports a small fishing fleet,  of which the Nimrod, can be seen here.
