Berwick between the Wars - Guided Walk
Bankhill, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 1BE
Based on Elisabeth's research for editing and publishing the memoirs of her father, Jock Richardson - A Berwick Boyhood - she will take people around parts of central Berwick mentioned, telling stories of her own family and also the social history of the time. The late 1920s and 1930s were periods of change for Berwick, with many people moved from poor housing in the centre of town to the outskirts. What was it like to live there whilst all this was happening?
