	Berwick-upon-Tweed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Berwick-upon-Tweed, (pronounced "Berrick") situated in the county of Northumberland, is the northernmost town in England, on the east coast at the mouth of the river Tweed.
		Although in that region the Tweed forms the border between England and Scotland, and Berwick is located on the northern, Scottish, side, the modern boundary diverts itself around the town to keep it in England.
		The town proper lies on the north bank and to the north of the River Tweed, and was formerly the county town of Berwickshire in Scotland.

		Largely through the efforts of Samuel J. Tilden, Tweed was tried for felony, but the jury could not reach a verdict.
