  1. Alnmouth is a village located at the mouth of the River Aln, the same river as flows past the site of the Pastures army camp in Alnwick. It is about 5 miles to the south-east of Alnwick.

    The village had been an important trading port, mainly involved in the export of grain, but by the time of the diaries that trade had long ceased.
