Berwick-upon-tweed
Berwick-upon-Tweed is a town in the county of Northumberland. It's the northernmost town in England. It's situated 2.5 miles (4 km) 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) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 miles (555 kilometres) north of London. The 2011 United Kingdom Census recorded Berwick's population as roughly 12,000. A civil parish and town council were founded during 2008. Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the period of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century. The area was, for more than 400 years, central to historic border wars among the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and a number of occasions possession of Berwick changed hands 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 example 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 existing and recent Berwick economic activities include salmon fishing, shipbuilding, engineering, sawmilling, fertilizer production, malting and the production of tweed and hosiery.
