There has been a bridge near the mouth of the River Tweed linking Berwick and Tweedmouth since the medieval period. With the unification of the English and Scottish Crowns in 1603, this link between north and south became even more important. Work started on constructing a new bridge in Berwick in June 1611 thanks to money provided by the Crown. It took a number of years to build and although it could be crossed by 1624, it wasn't totally completed until 1634. This talk using the amazing archives which have survived about its construction, will tell the story of the bridge - who worked on it, what supplies were used and some of its subsequent history
