What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: The North British Railway built Berwick on Tweed station in 1843, on the site of a 12th century castle. In 1913 it designed a new station, with many Scottish overtones in its design, but the Great War prevented construction until 1924. Thus the London & North Eastern Railway built the present station, with its island platform and footbridge. The station is Listed Grade II
Berwick-upon-Tweed railway station, constructed in 1924 by the London & North Eastern Railway, features a distinctive design influenced by Scottish aesthetics and includes an island platform and footbridge; it serves as a significant transportation hub on the border between England and Scotland.
