Yes Berwick it is, I don't remember the year. It is standing in the down siding adjacent the down main before heading back north. Stembock was right, there were clearance problems between Newcastle and Berwick so a number of trips were run over I think one week between Edinburgh and Berwick.

Once again apologies for the quality of the photo, taken on a sixpenny camera I think!

Are the two towers in the background the luggage lift on the station its a seldom seen angle shot, ive never seen any pics of DP1 North of Newcastle.
Technically the whole scene is in the castle, only the bit down to the river gate survived the NBRs vandalism when they built Berwick Station but i must say the Royal Border Bridge fits in to the scene with the old wall quite seamlessly.

Here is the correct view, sincere apologies to everyone, I have found it helps if the negative is the right way round!

I thought i had imbibed too much Stones when 52A said Berwick looking North. I thought the two towers were the the luggage lift but i couldnt work it out- Negative reversal hits us all.

All the best
