Right hand (north-west) house (Nos.202/204): central doorway with strongly reticulated ashlars to either side, entablature of ogee-curved console topped with carved animal heads, plain frieze with central high relief carved head, and carved cornice. Window to either side of two six-pane sashes divided by stone mullion with reticulated ashlar jambs and lintel with central carving. Highly carved stone string course at first-floor level. Four windows to first and second storeys; those on first floor are six-pane sashes with reticulated ashlar jambs and prominent keystone, carved as a face on the outer window. Further decorative string course at second floor level. Second-storey windows are six-light sashes with semi-circular arches rising above roof line, with decorative carved jambs and semi-circular lintels each topped with a figure of a man carved in the round. The outer corners have a carved bird. Left hand (south-east) house (No. 206): similarly articulated main facade but slightly less eleborately decorated with only two figures above the windows, and no carved string courses. North-west facing gable end: one basement window, two first-floor windows similar to those at front but with highly carved jambs, carved face on keystone, highly carved string course at first and second floor level, second-floor windows as at the front with carved figures above. Between windows: carved base-relief panel of birds with date below at first-floor level, square panel with carved head above and further panel with coat of arms above second floor string course. Rear: cut into hillside, windows as at front but less decorated, two only have carved birds at top, second floor windows of south house not semi-circular, outer two have triangular gables above, inner two set below roof line. INTERIOR: right-hand, (north-west) house has central hallway with elaborate cornice. Two front rooms both with ornate cornice and ceiling rose, high skirting boards, tall splayed and shuttered sash windows. Possible original fireplace in one room and original doorway across hall with painted glass. Rear rooms - one side sub-divided, other with plain cornice. Staircase removed: entrance to upper floors from behind, above former outbuildings. Front room with ornate cornice and ceiling rose. Some original doors, staircase, skirting boards and window furniture. Rest of interior not examined. Wilson was a local funerary sculptor who had offices near the bridge into Berwick. He built another pair of houses in Spittal, further up Main Street, which have a number of features in common with Wilson Terrace itself, but with less carving and in a less imposing setting. This imposing terrace is very ornate and individual, and is a fine example of the late Victorian love of decoration and ostentation, executed to a very high standard and well preserved. It would have served as an excellent advertisement for Wilson's skills as an architect and sculptor, and is an idiosyncratic piece of design | 2004-03-03 | 2004-03-03 | ||||

Single storey 2 bay building of uncoursed rough-dressed stone with large quoins, under a slate roof with brick chimneys at each gable end. Divided into two by stone wall, each half having a single small shuttered window, the right hand one having no frame or glazing, and a steel framed doorway and door towards the centre. West gable end is stepped and both gables rise above the current roof line. INTERIOR: western half: brick fireplace at outer gable end, 19th century sawn roof timbers partially exposed. Eastern half: brick fireplace at outer gable end, timber panelled partition wall dividing entrance corridor from room. Small wooden bunk beds in corner by fireplace. Ceiling is lined with pine planking similar to that of the partition wall, possibly re-used timber. Fishing shiels are associated with the traditional fishing of the salmon runs up the River Tweed. The fishermen would wait and sleep in the shiels until the signal came that the salmon were running, and would store both their nets and catch in them. The steel doors are an indication of the value of the catch. The date is not yet firmly established, but a grant to build a shiel on the site was granted by the estate owning the land in 1735, and the building could well date from this period. The stepped and raised gable ends indicate that the roof was originally thatched. This is the only remaining unmodernised shiel on the River Tweed and as such is an important relic of the traditional salmon fishing industry. | 2004-03-15 | 2004-03-15 | ||||

Sources: report on Shepherd's Dene, Riding Mill, by Grace McCombie, unpub., 2003 Interior: The principal rooms on ground and first floors have ceiling cornices, the doors of the ground floor principal rooms have blind Gothic tracery, and almost all the rooms have original fireplaces. All the windows are metal casements with Critall-type fittings in a variety of individual styles, and many of the windows have original leading and shutters. There are some old radiators. Entrance lobby with inner door in a screen with stained glass lights, panelled vestibule and small side room. Leading to large hall with wood panelled walls and a carved stone chimney piece with Delft tiles. The staircase off the hall has re-used C17 barley-sugar and turned balusters supporting a moulded grip handrail. Some of the panelling also incorporates older pieces. Chapel off the hall (originally drawing or music room)has been extended forming the pitched roofed extension visible on the west front, probably built post-war, using the original windows. A vestry has been incorporated and the fireplace has been lost. Dining room off the corridor from the hall has two doors and high quality wooden floor in a mitred pattern around the edge of the room, pine boards in the centre. Panelled dado and plaster frieze of low-relief swags. Panelling at the east end incorporates historic panels with inlaid decoration. Wide panelled surround for inglenook fireplace has service bell at waist height. Fireplace has beaten copper hood, dark blue tiles and a mantel supported by carved heads. Two other rooms off the corridor retain their fireplaces, that to the south having a door to the terrace, formerly separated from the room by a corridor leading from the main corridor. Door at the end of the corridor leads to service wing. Corridor beyond is narrower. Service rooms off this retain original plan and much of original detail, with food storage and preparation on the cooler, north face. Former service yard at east end filled by stair to extra room above built in 1938. Lower part of service corridor has embossed wallpaper which may be early C20. First floor: principal rooms have chimney pieces of various designs in C18 style. Most windows have window seats set on wooden supports. Service stair has turned newels, stick balusters and a moulded handrail. At the attic level the landing balustrade is higher with a high tapered newel. The attic rooms were rearranged in 1938 to provide a corridor and separate doors for each one: they had previously been interconnected. They are lined with tongue-and-groove boarding, most of which probably dates to 1938 but with later alterations. History: the architect is as yet unknown, but the house was built for D.S. Marjoribanks Esq,in 1906, and given the name 'Shepherd's Bank'. The property was sold in 1921 to G.S. Newall and renamed 'Shepherd's Dene'. In 1938 plans for alterations to the house by Mr Newall were approved (see above). The house may have been used for evacuees during the war, and possibly also as a convalescent home. In 1946 Mr G.S Newall gave the house to the Diocese of Newcastle and it is now used as a retreat and conference centre.

Left hand window is a projecting four-light square plan timber window on a stone plinth within the structure of the verandah which continues to the right in front of the door and right hand window. Modern door and widened doorway. Other windows to front are all three lights with stone mullions, plain sills and lintels and alternate block jambs. Ground floor windows have transoms with leading in upper parts. First floor windows extend into gabled dormers with vent slits. Chimney stacks at each end with projecting coping and moulded round yellow pots. East end gable has two ground floor windows, one of three lights with stone mullions,and one single light, and two first floor windows, one single and one two light with stone mullion. West gable is identical with omission of single light ground floor window. A rear yard is enclosed by a wall which is continuous with the house. Entrance door in this on east side forms back door of house. INTERIOR: Fairly symmetrical layout of four ground floor and four first floor rooms. Former central corridor to front door removed to enlarge room in left hand bay. Fireplace in this room intact and in similar C18 style to those in Shepherd's Dene main house. All windows original and with similar fittings to those in main house. Rear upper rooms are built into the eaves which form catslide roof down to ground floor level at the rear. In 1928 the house was divided into two dwellings, at which time the rear door at the back of the east gable end was the entrance to one half of the house. It is probable that the removal of the central corridor dates to the same time. At some point it was restored as a single house as it remains now. West Cottage is one of a group of buildings on the Shepherd's Dene estate which, although physically separated, form a group in terms of date, building materials and overall style. | 2004-06-24 | 2004-06-24 | ||||

HISTORY: Duke's School was founded in 1810 by Hugh, 2nd Duke of Northumberland to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of King George III and provide elementary education for 200 poor boys. By 1901 with an expanding curriculum, it was given secondary status and the then 6th Duke of Northumberland undertook to provide a new building and equip it with the most up to date fittings and furniture. The present school was built on a new site between 1901 and 1904 at a cost of #13000. The chosen architect was James Wightman Douglas, an old boy of the school. A contemporary account of the new school in a local newspaper indicates that it was constructed on the soundest educational and social principles and aimed to provide a stimulating atmosphere. The building was opened on 27th July 1904 by Dowager Duchess Eleanor, widow of the 4th Duke of Northumberland. The school became a boys Grammar school until 1977 when it became a local Middle School catering for girls and boys aged nine to thirteen. SOURCES: Gilroy, L. 2004 The Dukes School Alnwick Guardian and County Advertiser 30th July 1904.

The building is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar quoins and dressings. PLAN: long rectangular main range of 13 bays, extended to the rear with malt kilns forming right and left returns. EXTERIOR: FRON (SOUTH) ELEVATION to Pier Road. 13 bays and 3 storeys under a pitched roof of slate; 8 original bays have a high chamfered plinth and later 5 bays have a less prominent single course low plinth. The dressings of the window and door openings differ on the original building and its extension; the former are of smooth ashlar while the latter are roughly tooled. Original first floor loading door occupies 5th bay with an inserted ground floor door below. The 5 bay extension contains a large segmental round headed opening with an inserted loading door above. Modern windows and external balcony occupy the third floor of the westernmost two bays and there is an inserted ground floor window and rectangular entrance. The left gable of the main range has two 2nd floor windows and an original ground floor entrance with relieving arch above. A malt kiln forms the EAST RETURN with a pyramid roof and paired window openings and loadings doors now converted to windows. The ground floor has inserted double garage doors. A small two-storey two bay building, probably malt store, now converted to a dwelling, form the end of the range; this has a blocked first floor gable loading door. A larger square four-storied malt kiln with paired windows at all levels and a conical roof of slate with vented apex forms the WEST RETURN of the building. REAR (North) ELEVATION: formed by later three-storey range attached to rear of original range with modern roof covering and roof lights. It has scattered fenestration and several doorways to the rear. INTERIOR: the interior of this building reflects its use as a maltings and retains evidence of at least two phases. It preserves evidence of the sites of two steeps and storage and malting floors are carried on a variety of cast iron and wooden columns. The interior of the kilns retain their characteristic cast iron floor beams. An inserted stair at the west end of the extended building is original. Several doors and trap-doors of various dates throughout the building. HISTORY: The eastern part of the present building appears on an 1822 map of Berwick, by John Wood described as Oil House. The presence of an oil yard manufacturing whale oil is documented in Berwick between the years 1807 and 1837. Although this appears to have operated on the south side of the Tweed estuary, the building at Pier Road must have been connected to it in some way. The raised area to the rear of the maltings reportedly contains a very large number of whalebones. It is therefore likely that this building was associated with the production and/or storage of whale oil and is therefore, an important building in the context of the whaling trade. Analysis of the main building elevation confirms that the original 8 bay oil house was extended westwards by an additional five bays; this had certainly occurred by publication of the Berwick Board of Health plan dated 1852 which shows that the extended building was by then Pier Head Malt House and its eastern kiln is present. It is likely that the original oil house was extended and converted to a maltings in c. 1838 when its oil function ceased; this coincides with the selling off of one of Berwick's two whaling boats in 1838 which represents the winding up of the town's whaling interests. Map evidence also shows that between 1862 and 1898 the building received a three-storey extension to the rear and a second malt kiln was added to its western end. Recollections of an elderly Berwick resident suggest that the building remained as a maltings well into the 1920's and it has been site for many years of a marquee business.

Amber Patrick, Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment Report No 1 Maltings in England. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE This maltings of c. 1838 was converted from an oil house of c. 1807. It has special interest as a relatively rare example of a maltings, which retains external features such as kilns and internal features including the sites of steeps and malting floors. Its plan form is readable and all forms of the malting process can be identified in the exterior and interior survival. A thematic study of maltings in England for English Heritage, has confirmed the importance of this example. The maltings conversion from an earlier oil house associated with the whaling trade enhances the special interest of the building as survivals are rare on a national level and the identification of this one associated with the well documented Northeast whaling trade is significant. | 2007-01-30 | 2007-01-30 | ||||

An account of the unveiling is published in The Alnwick and County Gazette October 1920 and Newcastle Daily News in September 1920. The inscription is attributed in Herodotus to Simonides (556-468 BC). The quotation in Histories Book VII CH.228 is actually 'Go tell the Spartans, thou who passest by, That here, obedient to their laws we lie'. The names of those who fell during the Second World War have been added. War memorials have a very strong historical and cultural significance on both a local and national scale. Erected in 1921, this example in the form of a simple Latin Cross is a good example of a memorial dedicated to the dead of the First World War.
