My A L Lloyd version curiously calls it "Walker Shore and Byker Hill" on both the LP sleeve and on the LP itself, but even more curiously he sings it as "Walker Hill and Byker Shore".

He wrote his own sleeve notes of course and doesn't credit a writer, but says that

"Versions .... were published as long ago as 1812".

(It may not have made the charts as there was some competition at the time).

cheers, Terry
