I am the person who had the original painting scanned by Woodhorn (NBL Archives) and I know the family who lived there.
Link House Blyth in the painting is about where the Coastline? ice-cream/fish shop is now, maybe a bit further north. It's more Newsham South Beach than Blyth! The river which used to have the little bridge over it in the painting is now culverted and under the concrete area beside the toilets and that big building that looks like a lookout place/public toilets. The building on the right is Link House not Link House Farm as noted on the Woodhorn website.....
From Memory there was another Link House near the beach further north.
