Description: | Berwick Upon Tweed is the closest English town to the Scottish border. As this picture shows, it lies where the River Tweed meets the sea. It is heavily fortified; the town passed between English and Scottish ownership 14 times before it was granted status of a free town in 1482. The print shows the 17th-century bridge over the River Tweed leading to the town key. The middle of the bridge marks the outer boundary of the town. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Jukes, F | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
