The Photo Centre was a press and commercial photographers' business which operated in Berwick from 1950-2012. In that time the business created an archive of over two million images documenting the lives of generations of townspeople. This display will focus on the period from the 1960 to the 1990s.
The building itself is an amazing structure built in the late 1750s and 1760s to house the town's administration.
In addition to this the Guildhall will also play host to other historical displays, children's activities, a book stall,talks, film shows and much more.
