Crime Unlocked
Town Hall, Marygate, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 1BN
Berwick Heritage Open Days took part in the HODs New Wave programme in 2022 where we worked with young people to develop new, innovative HODs events. We've continued this tradition with this event created by a young person for all ages.
Based on cases uncovered in the local archives, find out who was in the prison in the Town Hall and what life was like there. Come along and hear how Berwick meted out justice in the past and its consequences. View the condemned cell and hear the stories behind who was imprisoned there.
