NT9952 : Sallyport, Berwick upon Tweed

taken 16 years ago, near to Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England

Sallyport, Berwick upon Tweed
Sallyport, Berwick upon Tweed
Sallyport links Bridge Street to the Quayside. The arch at the end of the lane (partly obscured by the metal fence around the building-works in progress at Dewar's Lane Granary) is the opening to a low, narrow tunnel under the Town Walls, which curves so that one cannot see from one end to the other: thus it is dark even at noon, and so provided cover for soldiers guarding the harbour from any attack from the Quayside. Steps to the left of the arch give access to the walkway around the Walls. The information board on the right is part of the Lowry trail round Berwick and Tweedmouth, showing the artist's interpretation of Sallyport.
