Berwick-upon-Tweed is a town in the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England. Berwick upon Tweed is located 2 ¹⁄₂ miles south of the Scottish border, at the mouth of the River Tweed on the east coast.
Berwick upon Tweed is about 56 miles (90 km) east-south east of Edinburgh, 65 miles (105 km) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 miles (555 km) north of London. Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the time of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century.
Berwick remains a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, in particular its medieval town walls, its Elizabethan ramparts and Britain's earliest barracks buildings (1717–21 by Nicholas Hawksmoor for the Board of Ordnance).
The old A1 road passes through Berwick. The modern A1 goes around the town to the west. The town is on the East Coast Main Line railway, and has a railway station. A small seaport at Tweedmouth facilitates the import and export of goods, but provides no passenger services. The port is protected by a long breakwater built in the 19th century, at the end of which is a red and white lighthouse. Completed in 1826, the 13 metres (43 ft) tower emits a white light every five seconds from a window overlooking the sea.
Berwick Castle was built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 1290s. Berwick town walls and Tudor ramparts – some of the finest remaining examples of their type in the country. The Old Bridge, 15-span sandstone arch bridge 1,164 feet (355 m) long, built in 1610.
Holy Trinity Parish Church, unusual for having been built during the Commonwealth of England. Berwick Barracks, built 1717–21, the design attributed to Nicholas Hawksmoor. Dewars Lane Granary, built in 1769, now restored as a hotel and art gallery. Marshall Meadows Country House Hotel, built in 1780 as a country house, is north of the town.
Union Bridge, 5 miles (8 km) upstream, from Berwick, was built in 1821 and is the World's oldest surviving suspension bridge. The Kings Arms Hotel on Hide Hill was built in 1782 and rebuilt in 1845. The Royal Border Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson and built in 1847. St Andrew's Church, Wallace Green was built in 1859 and is one of only eight Church of Scotland congregations in England.
The Masonic Hall was built in 1872 for the town's St David's Masonic Lodge for £1,800. The Royal Tweed Bridge, built in 1925 to carry the A1 road across the Tweed. Its span is 361 feet (110 m). Dewars Lane runs down Back Street just off Bridge Street.

M21 - From the Medieval to the Twenty First Century
Produced by DASH (Disability Arts in Shropshire) in collaboration with the Live Art Development Agency,
M21 was a programme of free Live Art events by some of the UK's leading disabled artists on the streets and in the surroundings of Much Wenlock. The Medieval town of Much Wenlock was the inspiration for the modern Olympic Games. M21 brought together the history of this small Shropshire town with the politics of Live Art over the May Bank Holiday weekend in 2012.
M21's line up of specially commissioned performance works ranged from spectacular outdoor projections onto Holy Trinity Church by Simon Mckeown, to the Mayor
of Much Wenlock sitting for a public portrait by Tanya Raabe, Ann Whitehurst training herself to be herself, sean burn performing a pentathlon with a difference, The Disabled Avant-Garde taking to the streets as 'the wayward mascots' Manlock and Wendeville, Noëmi Lakmaier presenting herself as a human baton in a 400m relay race, the Invalid Film Crew from Croatia exploring the orientation of blind and deaf people in a foreign country, Alan McLean and Arty Party inviting audiences to join them on a search for a missing artist, and manifestos on land rights from The Wandering Jew.
M21 was commissioned by the Unlimited programme,
part of the London 2012 Festival and Cultural Olympiad.
Unlimited encourages collaborations and partnerships between disability
arts organisations, disabled and deaf artists, producers and mainstream
organisations to celebrate the inspiration of the Olympic and Paralympic
Games and to create original and exciting works. Twenty-nine Unlimited
Commissions have been awarded.
Unlimited was principally funded by the National Lottery through the
Olympic Lottery Distributor and was delivered in partnership between
London 2012, Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Arts Council of
Wales, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the British Council.
Places to see in ( London - UK ) St. Dunstan in the East
Places to see in ( London - UK ) St. Dunstan in the East
St Dunstan-in-the-East was a Church of England parish church on St Dunstan's Hill, halfway between London Bridge and the Tower of London in the City of London. St. Dunstan in the East was largely destroyed in the Second World War and the ruins are now a public garden.
St. Dunstan in the East was originally built in about 1100. A new south aisle was added in 1391 and the church was repaired in 1631 at a cost of more than £2,400. St. Dunstan in the East was severely damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Rather than being completely rebuilt, the damaged church was patched up between 1668 and 1671. A steeple was added in 1695–1701 to the designs of Sir Christopher Wren. It was built in a gothic style sympathetic to main body of the church, though with heavy string courses of a kind not used in the Middle Ages. St. Dunstan in the East has a needle spire carried on four flying buttresses in the manner of that of St Nicholas in Newcastle. The restored church had wooden carvings by Grinling Gibbons and an organ by Father Smith, which was transferred to the abbey at St Albans in 1818.
In 1817 St. Dunstan in the East was found that the weight of the nave roof had thrust the walls seven inches out of the perpendicular. St. Dunstan in the East was decided to rebuild the church from the level of the arches, but the state of the structure proved so bad that the whole building was taken down. St. Dunstan in the East was rebuilt to a design in the perpendicular style by David Laing (then architect to the Board of Customs) with assistance from William Tite. The foundation stone was laid in November 1817 and the church re-opened for worship in January 1821. Built of Portland stone, with a plaster lierne nave vault, it was 115 feet long and 65 feet wide and could accommodate between six and seven hundred people. The cost of the work was £36,000. Wren's tower was retained in the new building.
St. Dunstan in the East was severely damaged in the Blitz of 1941. Wren's tower and steeple survived the bombs' impact. Of the rest of the church only the north and south walls remained. In the re-organisation of the Anglican Church in London following the War it was decided not to rebuild St Dunstan's, and in 1967 the City of London Corporation decided to turn the ruins of the church into a public garden, which opened in 1971. A lawn and trees were planted in the ruins, with a low fountain in the middle of the nave. The tower now houses the All Hallows House Foundation. The parish is now combined with the Benefice of All Hallows by the Tower and occasional open-air services are held in the church, such as on Palm Sunday prior to a procession to All Hallows by the Tower along St Dunstan's Hill and Great Tower Street. The ruin was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.

Gary Miller & The Volunteers perform the opening track from Gary's 2010 solo album 'Reflections on War' (Whippet Records WPTCD22) live at The Maltings Arts Centre, Berwick-upon-Tweed on Friday 16th April 2010.
The song was inspired by 'Two Soldiers in Kilts' 1914, a charcoal drawing by Eugene Alluard (1866-1947). The tune and a few of the words have been adapted and reworked from the traditional Scots folksong 'Twa Recruiting Sergeants'.
TWA SCOTS SOLDIERS
Twa Scots soldiers enlisted fae France
Spurred on by Kitchener to take their chance
Against the Kaiser with a screech and a yell
And make him afraid o' the Ladies From Hell
Dressed in khaki kilts and a fine pair of spats
Standing in line like real cool cats
Glengarry on each heid and a gun in each fist
What possessed these twa canny lads to enlist?
From Mons to Ypres all the way through the Somme
Would they be left standing when their mates are all gone
To look back and wonder how they ever returned hame
Or will they no' come back again?
Twa sweethearts did they leave behind
To worry themselves nearly out of their minds?
Dinnae fret me hinny just bide yer time
For we'll both be back by Christmastime
Oh laddies ye dinnae ken the danger that ye're in
Before ye've grown accustomed to the smoke and the din
O' the rattle o' machineguns and the whiz-bangs crashing loud
They'll be wrapping yer wee bodies up in a shroud
From Mons to Ypres all the way through the Somme
Would they be left standing when their mates are all gone
To look back and wonder how they ever returned hame
Or will they no' come back again?
One looks down and examines his gun
Will it keep him alive until the War is won?
The other stares ahead wi' a pipe in his teeth
A young-old face, what thoughts lie beneath?
Is he thinking o' his hame in the hills and glen?
Daydreaming o' adventure wi' the rest o' the men?
Is he lost in premonition o' the horrors ahead?
Does his spirit hear the pibroch sounding for the dead?
From Mons to Ypres all the way through the Somme
Would they be left standing when their mates are all gone
To look back and wonder how they ever returned hame
Or will they no' come back again?

The Old Durham Road: A history of Black Settlement in Artemesia Township
Dr. Naomi Norquay from the Faculty of Education at York University discusses her ongoing research, The Old Durham Road: A History of Black Settlement in Artemesia Township.
Who would weep for The Willows?
WHAT would friends Nicholas Wright and George Brumell make of their old Morpeth, Northumberland, homes now?
In their heyday these once fine red brick properties overlooking the River Wansbeck - The Willows and Beechfield - played host to dances and garden parties.
Each had three reception rooms, five bedrooms, two kitchens, a bathroom, plus stables and outhouses in their extensive grounds.
How proud the families of timber merchant Mr Wright and solicitor Mr Brumell must have been of these handsome homes, which were built about 1855.
Times change, and in 1930 the houses were bought by the County Council.
They survived threats of demolition and during World War Two were used as an Air Raid Precautions headquarters and by the Red Cross.
Later they were put to a variety of council uses, including school grounds, employment services and eventually, from 1952, as the County Library HQ. The new library was built on part of the site in 1966, the old buildings lying disused and growing ever shabbier.
With the County Council considering shifting its HQ from Morpeth to Ashington and spreading operations around Northumberland, what next for The Willows and Beechfield?
Will they escape the wrecking ball and be put to good use once more, or are they doomed to demolition?
NOTE: This video was first posted three years ago and the Council Administration has since changed. The future of the site is under review, but demolition of the newer (1966) Library building is almost complete. The Willows and Beechfield are not included in the current demolition.
