Berwick-upon-tweed

Berwick-upon-Tweed is a town within the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England. It's situated 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) to the north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 miles (555 kilometres) north of London. The 2011 UK Census recorded Berwick's population as roughly 12,043. A civil parish and town council were set up during 2008. Berwick was established as an Anglo-Saxon settlement through the period 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 among the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and several occasions possession of Berwick changed hands between the two kingdoms. The last time it changed hands was when England retook it in 1482. Berwick is still a historic market town and also has some notable architectural features, for example its medieval town walls, Elizabethan ramparts and Britain's oldest barracks buildings. Slightly more than 60 per cent of the population is employed in the service sector, including 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 building. Some present and recent Berwick economic activities include salmon fishing, shipbuilding, engineering, sawmilling, fertilizer production, malting and the manufacturing of tweed and hosiery.
