Berwick-upon-tweed
Berwick-upon-Tweed is a town inside the county of Northumberland. It's the northernmost town in England. It is located 2.5 miles (4 km) to the south of the Scottish border, at the mouth of the River Tweed, on the east coast of the UK. It is 56 miles (90 kilometres) south east of Edinburgh, 65 miles (105 kilometres) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 miles (555 km) north of London. The 2011 United Kingdom Census recorded Berwick's population as roughly 12,000. A civil parish and town council were established during 2008. Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement through the time of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England during the tenth century. The area was, for over 400 years, central to historic border wars between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and several instances 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 per cent of the population works in the service sector, which includes shops, hotels and catering, financial services and most government activity, such as health care. About 13 per cent 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.
