TINMOUTH, (Northumberland) which is at the mouth of the Tine, 9 mm. E. of Newcastle, has a large stately castle on a very high rock, inaccessible on the sea-side, and well-mounted with cannon. The Tine here is not above 7 foot deep at low- water; and though the channel is good from hence to Newcastle, a sand lies across the mouth of it, called the Bar, with dangerous rocks about it, called the Black-Middins; but to prevent ships running on them by night, there are light-houses set up and maintained by Trinity-House at Newcastle; and near them there is Clifford's-Fort (built 1672) which commands the mouth of the r. In the castle, which also commands it, was a mon, (the ruins whereof are still to be seen) which was often plundered by the Danes, and after the conquest became a cell of St. Albans. Here was also the old p.-Ch. which being decayed, a new one was built, and consecrated in 1668.
