Berwick Castle, Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland
A castle at Berwick is first mentioned in documents dating to the 12th century. Most of the remains which are visible today date from a re-modelling of the castle in the late 13th and subsequent centuries. When Edward I captured the town of Berwick from the Scots in 1296 the existing castle was strengthened. The castle continued to be garrisoned until 1603. It was partly demolished in 1641. It was then largely cleared in 1843 to build the railway station. This site is now in the care of English Heritage (2010).
