Postcards and Photos of Northumberland
« on: Monday 20 June 05 19:26 BST (UK) »
Hello All,
Can anyone send me scans of old postcards or photos of places in Northumberland ?  I would especially appreciate any of Newcastle and area, or of football grounds.
If the postcards are over about 50 years old there should be no problems with copyright, and if there are photos taken by yourself or a family member then the copyright is yours so you can decide whether or not you wish to give me a copy !
I have broadband internet access and a large In-box.
Many thanks,  Ian White in Ottawa, Canada.

What a beautiful place Northumberland is i used to stay in a fishing village called Craster where there were kipper sheds andwas overlooked by Dunstanburgh castle with fantastic views. I will look through my photos and find some to email to you.
