From the Wikipedia article
Hauxley Lifeboat Station was located in Low Hauxley, a village near Amble, approximately 10 miles (16 km) south-east of Alnwick, in the county of Northumberland. The Warkworth Harbour lifeboat was first stationed at Hauxley by the Newcastle Shipwreck Association (NSA) in 1852. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS) in 1853, which became the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1854. Hauxley lifeboat station was closed, when a motor-powered lifeboat was placed at Amble in 1939.
