Photograph at the Philip Larkin CH CBE FRSL black plaque

1A Ratcliffe Road, Haydon Bridge. Writer Philip Larkin & Monica Jones, his companion of 40 years, shared this secret love nest from 1961 to 1984. "I thought your little house seemed...distinguished and exciting and beautiful...it looks splendid, and it can never be ordinary with the Tyne going by outside...a great English river drifting under your window, brown and muscled with currents!" Philip Larkin April 19xx
