Berwick Lifeboat Station at Carr Rock, Spittal
Heritage Open Day: Stationed in Spittal, the lifeboat service in Berwick has a long history. Visit the present Lifeboat Station and see their new inshore lifeboat. Find out what they do today as well as about their past. Berwick Lifeboat Station was first established in Spittal in 1835. Since then, it has swapped from one side of the River Tweed to the other . It remained on the Spittal side until 1901 when it transferred over to the Berwick side of the river. It was subsequently moved back to Spittal again to its present site at Carr Rock. See a display to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the RNLI and the history of the local station.
