"Chasing Tracks" is a book found by the River Coquet, rich in history and natural beauty. Inside is a scrapbook with a diverse collection of images depicting people and places from the past, illustrating the subtle impression of human presence along the river banks and tracks. The scrapbook traces the river's path from its source in Chewgreen to its mouth at Amble, filled with folklore and cultural heritage. It includes excerpts from the 19th-century book "Rambles in Northumberland," detailing the journey of a lone walker through Northumberland's landscapes. The book's imprints have left faint stains on the pages, symbolizing the past's enduring legacy. "Chasing Tracks" invites readers to explore the history of the River Coquet and reflect on their own connections to the past. Below are scanned images from the book.
