Blyth Lifeboat Station
Blyth Lifeboat Station is located on Quay Road, in the Port and seaside town of Blyth, in the south east corner of the county of Northumberland, approx. 13 miles (21 km) north of Newcastle upon Tyne. A lifeboat was first stationed at Blyth by the Ridley Estate Trust in 1808, but operated for only two years. Following subsequent management by both the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), and the Blyth Lifeboat Association (BLA), the station was finally transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1866. The station currently operates two Inshore lifeboats, the B-class (Atlantic 85) lifeboat Patricia Southall (B-923), on station since 2021, and the smaller D-class (IB1) Sally Forth (D-878), since 2023.
