Now that the Breamish Hall Heritage Project is completed, we are officially launching the heritage website pages. We have around 20 pages packed full of information, photos and documents that represent a history of the Breamish Hall in Powburn from 1897-2022.
Here’s wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful New Year for 2023.

The local amateur photographer GEORGE BLYTH (b. 27 May 1875) is informally known as the ‘postman photographer’. This is for good reason, having worked as a rural postman for around 43 years.
GEORGE BLYTH was the first child of Charles Blyth(e) and Elizabeth English, who were married sometime during the 2nd quarter (April-June) of 1875. According to the 1939 Register of England and Wales, he was born on 27 May 1875. Assuming this is accurate, this entails that Elizabeth was pregnant at the time of her marriage. George was subsequently baptised on 25July 1875 at Belford, Northumberland. At that time, his father Charles was a farm labourer living at Twizels Village.
Just wanted to wish everyone who has visited the website over the past year, a very Merry Christmas!
It feels like the first full year for a while when we haven’t had to think about the Covid pandemic too much. So, I hope this is true for you and yours, and that you’ve managed to remain healthy throughout the year.
We are pleased to announce that the Breamish Hall Heritage Project that began in October 2021 has completed successfully! We’ve managed to gather some fascinating history about the village hall in Powburn, supported with several new documents and photographs. To celebrate the conclusion, we’d like to share our findings at a Coffee Morning to be held – of course – in the Breamish Hall.
Looking up in the Breamish Valley never fails to reward: herons, geese, scintillating sunsets. What’s not to enjoy? And this time of the year, with the late autumn crispness, the December ‘cold moon’ is stunning. Have you taken the time to look up?
The Breamish Hall Heritage Project that began in October 2021 is coming to its end. Graham Williamson and May Wilson have collected together a number of images and documents that help to record a history of the Breamish Hall in Powburn. However, there are two events for which we have no suitable images/photos:
