EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to the 1880s, offering a glimpse into the majestic Royal Border Bridge in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland. Standing tall and proud, this architectural marvel gracefully spans across the River Tweed, connecting two picturesque landscapes on either side. From a north-western vantage point, we are treated to an enchanting view of this iconic bridge. The riverbank in the foreground is adorned with charming local fishing boats known as cobles, adding a touch of authenticity and cultural significance to the scene. These traditional vessels serve as a reminder of Berwick-Upon-Tweed's rich maritime heritage. The intricate details of both the bridge and its surroundings transport us back in time. The railway tracks atop the viaduct hint at an era when steam locomotives would have traversed this engineering masterpiece. In contrast, perched high above it all is an imposing castle that adds an air of grandeur to this already breathtaking landscape. Preserved through time by Historic England Archive, this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of Royal Border Bridge. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship while capturing a moment frozen forever in history.
