I was sent these photos of Robson's Boatbuilders at South Shields, showing craftsmen building a cobble by the traditional methods.

If anyone has information about Robsons, the boats that they built, photos etc I would really like them to post it on NEM as I would like to add Robsons to the Tyne Built Ships website.

A few fishing boats built by Robsons, kindly researched by Richard Potter.
