Britain's What's On Event Guide
Border Brewery Cellars in Silver Street, Berwick
Heritage Open Day: Back by popular demand, an opportunity to visit and explore some Grade II listed 18th century cellars which were used at one stage as a bonded store. From at least 1781 to the early 20th century, there was a brewery on this site. These cellars extend under 10 - 14 Silver Street, part of which was originally the town house of the Haggerston family. The house was rebuilt in the early 1700s but was in a poor state by the mid 18th century. The entrance to the cellars incorporates a date stone of 1781, when the site became a brewery. The Border Brewery operated from here under different names until the 1930s. In 1937 the business was taken over by Vaux Breweries and brewing ceased. In 1948 the premises were purchased by Blackburn and Price who ran the site as a garage until its closure in the early 2000s.
