Embleton, Northumberland

The idea for this book originated from the interest shown in the old pictures included in the Embleton Parish Heritage Trails booklet first published a few years ago.

Embleton has been a holiday destination since before 1900 and literally hundreds of different postcards were printed before WW II showing the village, the surrounding countryside and Dunstanburgh Castle. It is quite common to find exactly the same picture on different manufacturers’ cards, sometimes produced at the same period and sometimes produced as much as twenty years apart.
