Berwick-upon-tweed
Berwick-upon-Tweed is a town within the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England. It's located 2.5 miles (4 km) to the south of the Scottish border, at the mouth of the River Tweed, on the east coast . It's about 56 miles (90 km) to the south east of Edinburgh, 65 miles (105 kilometres) to the north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 miles (555 km) north of London. The 2011 UK Census recorded Berwick's population as about 12,000. A civil parish and town council were established during 2008. Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the period of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England during the tenth century. The area was, for more than 400 years, central to historic border wars between 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 historic market town and also has some notable architectural features, for instance its medieval town walls, Elizabethan ramparts and Britain's earliest barracks buildings. Slightly more than 60% of the population works in the service sector, such as shops, hotels and catering, financial services and most government activity, such as health care. About 13% is in manufacturing, 10% in agriculture, and 8 per cent in construction. Some existing and recent Berwick economic activities include salmon fishing, shipbuilding, engineering, sawmilling, fertilizer production, malting and the production of tweed and hosiery.
