Blyth Rowing Club

Blyth Rowing Club was a professional rowing club, based in South Harbour, Blyth, Northumberland. They changed their status to amateur during the 1950/60s. Significant members were the Pearson Brothers Tom, Doug and Jimmy, who carried on rowing well into their eighties, eventually moving to Cambois Rowing Club when Blyth folded. Tom and Doug were absolute gentlemen and great supporters of rowing generally and very close; in fact they passed away within minutes of each other in Wansbeck Hospital; together in life and together in death.
