View of Wylam Institute and ‘Charlie’s corner in February 1937
This view of Wylam Institute in January 1937 shows ‘Charlie’s Corner’ and the cottages whose remains can be seen in what is now the carpark of the Ship Inn. My grandmother always referred to the lane which runs behind the Ship and emerges beside the Institute as ‘Welsh’s Backside’, whether the cottages or the Ship were occupied by someone called Welsh I haven’t yet discovered(my grandmother no longer being around to ask).
