Berwick-upon-Tweed is a town within the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England. It is located 2.5 miles (4 kilometres) to the south of the Scottish border, at the mouth of the River Tweed, on the east coast of the United Kingdom. It’s about 56 miles (90 km) to the south east of Edinburgh, 65 miles (105 kilometres) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 miles (555 kilometres) north of London. The 2011 United Kingdom Census recorded Berwick’s population as around 12,000. A civil parish and town council were created during 2008. Berwick’s origins are as an Anglo-Saxon settlement through the time of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century. The area was, for more than four hundred years, central to historical border wars amongst the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and a number of times possession of Berwick was swapped between the two kingdoms. The final time it changed hands was when England retook it in 1482. Berwick remains a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, particularly its medieval town walls, Elizabethan ramparts and Britain’s oldest barracks buildings. Slightly more than 60 per cent of the population works in the service sector, such as shops, hotels and catering, financial services and most government activity, including health care. About 13% is in manufacturing, 10% in agriculture, and 8 per cent in construction. Some current and recent Berwick economic activities include salmon fishing, shipbuilding, engineering, sawmilling, fertilizer production, malting and the manufacturing of tweed and hosiery.
