"Farther eastward down the Coquet are two places pre-eminently noted as centres for the sport for which the river is famed above all other Northumbrian streams, though some of them are worthy rivals. These two places are Weldon Bridge and Felton; the old Angler's Inn at the first-named is a favourite rendezvous of the fraternity of rod and creel. Fishermen have long known the fascination of these two places, and I quote from the 'Fisherman's Garland' two stanzas written by two enthusiastic anglers in praise of them. The writers are Robert Roxby and Thomas Doubleday." "But we'll awa' to Coquetside, For Coquet bangs them a'; Whose winding streams sae sweetly glide By Brinkburn's bonny Ha'!" Written in 1821 "The Coquet for ever, the Coquet for aye! The Woodhall and Weldon and Felton so gay, And Brinkburn and Linden, wi' a' their sweet pride, For they add to the beauty of dear Coquetside." Written in 1826 Project Gutenberg's Northumberland Yesterday and To-day, by Jean F. Terry (1913).
