Plates, signs, notices etc
A very early act, dating from May 1811, obtained by the Berwick and Kelso Railway Company. Sadly the company was dissolved prior to any of the planned railway being built, as a result of various disagreements amongst directors regarding issues such as land purchase and the cost of the proposed bridge over the Tweed. A similar line was eventually opened by the North British Railway and the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway in 1849, but with a route along the south bank of the river, thus avoiding the need for a bridge. [Railscot note: The County of Durham refers to what were then 'exclaves' of that county located within Northumberland.]
