Title: For those in peril on the sea...
Will Hogg has one of the best views over the mouth of the River Tyne at Tynemouth - and so he should.
From an early age, he has had a love for the sea and after being introdced to the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade by a friend, he has devoted his life to keeping an eye out for those in peril on the surrounding seas and coastline.
The watch-tower on the northern hill at the mouth of the Tyne is a structure that is not only a point of observation, but is also an integral part of the brigade's museum.
Will Hogg talks of the importance of the voluntary role of the brigade and also reveals a story of a certain pattern of knitting - a pattern that is unique to each area of the North Eastern coastline.
