Placeholder for Robert Thirlway Arkley blue plaque

Robert Thirlway Arkley. A founding member of the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade, tragically swept from the pier and died on active service. Aged just 44 he was part of the daring rescue of the crew of the barque 'Consul' which struck the Pier in raging seas on 17th December 1872. As a member of the Life Brigade, no one was braver.
