Photos of Blyth, Northumberland.This section features photos from the Port of Blyth, the piers and lighthouse and Blyth South Beach. Blyth is the largest port and town in Northumberland with a long history in shipping and shipbuilding. It used to be one of the largest coal exporting ports in Europe, now coal is imported via the new harbour at Battleship Wharf. Shipping is still healthy though and there are always ships coming and going at the South Harbour, Alcan Quay, the roll on roll off terminal and the new harbour. A number of fishing boats still use the port and in the South Harbour the marina is always bristling with yacht masts. Blyth South Beach is a fine beach used reguarly by walkers, families and water sports enthusiasts. It is common to see dog walkers, jet skiers, surfers, canooists, sea anglers and families all using the beach at once. Please use the links on the left to view the various pages of Blyth Photos. The photos may take a while to load depending on your connection speed.
