Newbiggin Point. The town is situated on the Northumberland coast, 15 miles north-east of Newcastle. Here, at Newbiggin Point, stands the ancient church of St. Bartholomew. Although the church we see today is a 1846 rebuild, the original church was built in the 14th century. It is also believed that a small church occupied this site before 1174.

Ceramic panel on wall of The Coble Inn. One of several ceramic panels on the Newbiggin Art Trail by Peter Seddon of the KEAP Creative group of local artists. It contains a series of symbolic images representing easily recognisable features of the town. A coble is prominent overlooked by a puffin which stands on the Point rocks with a lifebelt to hand. St. Bartholomew’s Church is also prominently represented with the Coble Inn itself and Bertorelli’s Cafe Riviera sign, which has, sadly, now disappeared. The lifeboat station is featured together with simple images representing the Couple, the horseshoe steps and the old breakwater. The whole panel is held together with subtle colours which reflect the outlook of the settlement.
The Coble. Named for the coble fishing boats characteristic of north-east England. High up on the front, left-hand wall is one of the Newbiggin ceramic panels featured in the art trail. The Coble Inn is one of the oldest public houses in the town. It is in a 17th century building and has been trading as a public house since the early 1800's.
