Berwick Harbour. 



This Improvement Scheme is now practically completed. It provides 

 berthing and landing accommodation for fishing vessels at the south side 

 of the River Tweed near its mouth. The timber wharf, which is the chief 

 feature of the new work, is 405 feet long with a timber deck 38 feet wide, 

 and the berthage in front is dredged to a depth of 5 feet below the level 

 of low water of ordinary spring tides. The space behind the wharf, which 

 has an average width of 120 feet, is partly filled up and may take some 

 considerable time to complete as a free tip. 



The total cost of the scheme including the purchase from the Crown 

 of certain foreshore, but excluding the filling referred to and certain other 

 minor details, was £10,770, 18s., which sum was paid by the Board to the 

 Trustees, by way of grant and loan from the Development Fund.
