The only question that remains to be settled is who is to 

 undertake the development of the region, on the lines which 

 could be laid down ? If a large supply of mussels could be got 

 from Fenham Flats it would be of great benefit to local fishermen. 

 It would encourage line fishing in the district. The working of 

 the beds would bring about a welcome new industry to many of 

 the men and women at Holy Island. For these and other 

 reasons I should be glad to give any information and help 

 with a view to getting a mussel farm established.
