Introducing the Ord Cross - discovered in 2019 by a metal detectorist on the banks of the River Tweed at Ord. This tiny piece of Anglo Saxon jewellery is unlike anything else found of a similar age. @ace_thenorth @N_landCouncil @CultureNland @discovernland

Artists #LSLowry was very fond of Berwick. His first known picture of Berwick is of Marygate and dated 1935.
‘Beach Scene’ is now part of our permanent collection and a poignant reminder of the artist’s love for the North. @ace_thenorth @discovernland @VisitBerwick @VisitNland

And he raised his Regiment of Foot, later to become the Coldstream Guards, just outside Berwick upon Tweed. Can we claim him as a local hero? #Berwick #coldstreamguards
I think he was fantastic. Much better than Cromwell. I would suggest, perhaps controversally, that Monck was the true father of the British army and not Cromwell.

Happy Christmas!
It doesn't look like it will be a white Christmas in the Cheviots this year, but early in 1963 a helicopter brought hay for the sheep on the Roddam Estate. #MerryChristmas #berwickrecordoffice #northumberland
