Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 1BN
The building of Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Hall is a fascinating story. In this talk, local historian Jim Herbert will talk about the history of the many ‘tollbooths’ on the site of our present one.
The Town Hall in Berwick is an iconic building dominating Marygate. There has been a building on this site for many centuries but not the one we can see now. Having studied the building records and examined the fabric of the building (down to individual planks), Jim Herbert now presents his findings which tells a very different story from the accepted one.
