Main Guard
-
Description
....Guardhouses were designed to accommodate the soldiers on guard duty, provide a secure place for holding the drunk and disorderly and to enforce the curfew during the hours of darkness. The Main Guard is comprised of a soldiers’ room, a slightly more comfortable officers’ room, and a prison cell called the “black hole”. Although the Main Guard is now owned by English Heritage, Berwick’s Civic Society holds it under license as their headquarters and maintains it as museum during the summer months. The museum is in two sections: one room is devoted to the history of the town and the other houses an annual exhibition of current interest..... -
