Portrait of a Town

The Granary Gallery , Dewars Lane, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 1ES

Experience Berwick from the 1950s to early 2000s through "Portrait of a Town" , a photographic exhibition depicting life and work there during that time. Visit the exhibition to see what Berwick was like in the past.

The Photo Centre was a photographic business which operated in Berwick from 1951 to 2012. On its closure the collection (over a million glass plates and negatives) was purchased by the Berwick Record Office. It documents all aspects of life in Berwick and North Northumberland and is a wonderful insight into life and fashion at the time. Specially for Heritage Open Days the rolling slide show will relate to the theme of Edible Berwick & District!
