This incredible collection of over 200 old photographs and
illustrations in and around Berwick-upon-Tweed beautifully portrays
the town as it used to be. Through these pictures we discover all
aspects of the town, from buildings and shops which no longer exist
through the shipping industry to the military history of the area
and the work and leisure activities of Berwick people. Berwick has
an unique history both as a frontier town and an important trading
port. Periods of prosperity, for example through fishing and
mining, have been interspersed with periods of deprivation. The
traditional net and coble salmon fishing industry at the mouth of
the River Tweed has been an important feature of Berwick,
Tweedmouth and Spittal for 1,000 years. When the fishing stations
closed in 1988, a whole way of life was lost to the community. Jim
Walker has been interested both in photography and local history
for many years. He has been able, therefore, to bring together a
fascinating selection of pictures which will inspire many memories
in long-time residents of the area and will give newer residents an
insight into the rich history of their town.
