My Great Aunt Bella Matheison
My Great Aunt Bella, known in the Cullercoats, Whitley Bay area of the North East as "The Lifeboat Lady" was usually to be seen on holiday weekends patrolling the sea front dressed in her Cullercoats Fishwife costume clutching her lifeboat collecting box demanding money with menaces from unsuspecting holiday makers. This was back in the 1950s when I was just a lad. I dont know much about her other than she raised lots of money for the Cullercoats lifeboat.
