Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the historical period of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century. The area was, for over 400 years, central to historic border wars amongst the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and numerous times possession of Berwick changed hands between the two kingdoms. The final time it changed hands was when England retook it in 1482. Berwick is still a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, for example its medieval town walls, Elizabethan ramparts and Britain’s earliest barracks buildings. Slightly more than 60 per cent of the population works in the service sector, which includes shops, hotels and catering, financial services and most government activity, including health care. About 13% is in manufacturing, 10 per cent in agriculture, and 8 per cent in building. Some current and recent Berwick economic activities include salmon fishing, shipbuilding, engineering, sawmilling, fertilizer production, malting and the production of tweed and hosiery.
