There will also be a Berwick Old Bridge inspired window display going up tomorrow (Friday 5 July) in Berwick. Located in the former Iceland on the high street, this display is the result of a volunteer project which celebrates one of Berwick's oldest trades that has taken place at the foot of the Old Bridge for hundreds of years - fishing. Look at the fishing objects and watch the photo reel of heritage fishing photos. Free and on until the end of the summer holidays.
There are some other Berwick Old Bridge 400 events going on locally inspired by the bridge’s anniversary.
Thank you
Mrs Hodgson
