Some years ago a kind friend lent me a copy of a small book (142 pocket sized pages), called All the Way to Pennywell; Children's Rhymes of the North East (north east England that is). The book was compiled by Frank Rutherford, who was at that time librarian of Durham University, from his own collecting work. This included stuff he'd recorded from the Elliots of Birtley. It is copiously researched with detailed notes and footnotes and in my opinion deserves to be far better known.

I photocopied the whole thing and the photocopy is now redundant, since I was lucky enough to pick up a volume in near mint condition a few weeks ago.

The book is extremely scarce, and it seems a pity to dump the photocopy, so I'd be glad to post it on to anyone in the UK or Ireland who can make use of it.
