Overview

On the North Sea coast, between the port city of Newcastle and the Scottish border, lies the town of Amble by the Sea. Long, almost untouched beaches, very cold water, rain, few lucrative jobs, a fishing industry in decline, humor, a thick dialect, friendly people. An English region that is being abandoned. Four years ago, fishermen spotted a dolphin near the coast. It was early summer, salmon season. The dolphin found plenty of food and stayed. Children named him Freddie. He made the place famous, and Amble became a tourist destination. Northern England, 1991, a visit to Amble by the Sea above and below the water.
