Local history group holds exhibition
Fred, a former chairman of Alnmouth Parish Council and well-known local historian, built up a large collection of historical items and artefacts, including more than 350 postcards.
On his death in 2013, the items, now called The Bettess Collection, were bequeathed by his family to the group.
