Carte de visite of Berwick-on-Tweed by G W Wilson, Aberdeen
An early view, in carte de visite format, by the famous George Washington Wilson studio. Numbered 1359.
I have given this a rough location on the map but would welcome further information. Is this looking upstream or downstream?

One of 140 images from a fascinating album. For more information see the full set
From 26-28 February I will be in the Truprint Photography Gallery at the Who Do You Think You Are? Live event at London’s Olympia. In the run up to that event, and with the help of show visitors over the three days, my aim is to use this album as an example of how Flickr, and the wider web community, can help identify these mystery, orphaned photograhs.
Just how many of these images can we identify, and what can we find out about the people they portray?

Thanks for the great info
Its looking across to Berwick from Tweedmouth the line of the wall going towards the river would be about the location of a later overbridge to allow salmon fisherman access to the river under the NER's Tweed Dock Branchline completed in 1853. We have a few pictures of this line on our facebook site Railways of Berwick and the Eastern Borders.
