Tweedmouth
Looking west along the Tweed estuary towards Tweed Dock in October 2012. The last leg of the zig-zag of the former freight only branch linking Tweedmouth goods yard with the dock ran along the shoreline here on a falling gradient after crossing a viaduct spanning Dock Road off to the right. Following closure in the 1960s that viaduct was demolished and the area landscaped. Beyond the wooden pier of the dock stand Berwick's three bridges, with the Royal Border Bridge in the background and the 17th century Berwick Bridge ('The Old Bridge') nearest the camera. Photograph taken from the surviving viaduct which carried the second leg of the zig-zag and now forms part of a walkway (see image 82476).
