News of Northumberland gathered by Patricia Docksey and the recording car from country, coast, and town and presented by Cecil McGivern.

In this, the ninth of the series, you will meet some of the folk of Northumberland, and live with them their pleasures, hobbies, work, and play, in terms of the various parts of the county from which they come.

The programme will be divided into three parts, portraying the rural, the coastal, and the industrial sides of Northumberland. In the first you will visit Hexham market, the largest in Northumberland, where, every Tuesday and Friday, farmers from far and wide congregate, speaking with a multitude of accents. The island of Lindisfarne, where Christianity first came to the North, will 'speak' in another part of the programme, and you will also hear how Northumberland gets on with its industrial job.
