Arms (crest) of Blyth (Borough)

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1923.

The arms combine the gold crown on red of Tynemouth Priory with the ermine fess of the Delaval family. At the base of the shield is a lymphad to show that Blyth is a port.

The crest has a black mural crown charged with gold picks to show the borough was based on coal mining. The gold lion is taken from the Northumberland County Council arms and holds a miner's lamp.

The arms are currently used by the Blyth town council.
