Not absolutely certain but I have a strong inkling that Tweed House was in the 1950's/60's  the home of the Carter family-The then Town Clerk (Today's equivalent I cannot hope to presume).

Whether at the time the house was the property of Borough of Blyth Council I know not.

In the 1950's & '60's the house was owned by the Benson family.
He worked (I believe) for Blyth Harbour Commission.
The house next door in Park View was owned at that time by Capt Ralph Thompson, ex RN (where he commanded HMS Cowslip) and later a Blyth river pilot, his wife's name Gwen.
