From the Wikipedia article
Alnmouth Lifeboat Station was located next to the Golf Links, north-east of Alnmouth, a village sitting at the mouth of the River Aln, approximate 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south-east of the town of Alnwick, in the county of Northumberland.

After operating for 81 years, Alnmouth Lifeboat Station was closed in 1935.
