A 17th century lookout tower that was the first armed police station in England and used by the police to spot salmon poachers who were shot if caught. It is now a craft workshop run by Susie Seui - well worth a visit if you are in the area. The attached composite photo was taken on the 13th October 2015.

Royal Border Bridge spans the River Tweed between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Tweedmouth in Northumberland, England. It is a Grade I listed railway viaduct built between 1847 and 1850, when it was opened by Queen Victoria. The engineer who designed it was Robert Stephenson (son of George Stephenson). It was built for the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway and is still in regular use today, as part of the East Coast Main Line. Despite its name, the bridge does not in fact span the border between England and Scotland which is approximately three miles further north. The bridge is 659 metres (2,162 ft) long, and constructed in stone, except for brick soffits to the arches. It has 28 arches, each spanning 60 feet (18 m). The railway is carried 37 metres (121 ft) above the river level. Courtesy of Wikipedia

Eric Lomax wrote a book entitled The Railway Man about his WWII experiences in the Far East under the Japanese including experience of torture and his subsequent reconciliation with his captors. The book has recently been made into a film. Lomax lived in Berwick on Tweed in his final years. Today is World Book Day.
