Lynemouth

Lynemouth

:"Distinguish from Lynmouth in Devon."Lynemouth is a village in Northumberland, England. The village is situated 3 miles North East of Ashington, and is in close proximity to the village of Ellington which is located to the north west. The village's location was decided by its close proximity to coal mines.

Lynemouth and the surrounding industrial area played an important role in the 1985 feature length docudrama "Seacoal" about the Seacoalers that make a living from collecting waste coal from the beach.

To the south of the village is the Alcan Lynemouth Aluminium Smelter and power station.
