The 2011 United Kingdom Census recorded Berwick’s population as roughly 12,000. A civil parish and town council were founded during 2008. Berwick was established as an Anglo-Saxon settlement through the period of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century. The area was, for more than four hundred years, central to historic border wars between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and many times possession of Berwick was swapped between the two kingdoms. The final time it changed hands was when England retook it in 1482. Berwick is still a historic market town and also has some notable architectural features, for example its medieval town walls, Elizabethan ramparts and Britain’s earliest barracks buildings. Slightly more than 60% of the population is employed in the service sector, which includes shops, hotels and catering, financial services and most government activity, such as health care. About 13 per cent is in manufacturing, 10% in agriculture, and 8 per cent in building. Some existing and recent Berwick economic activities include salmon fishing, shipbuilding, engineering, sawmilling, fertilizer production, malting and the production of tweed and hosiery.
