House in Tweed Street, Berwick
Image: © Barbara Carr Taken: 17 Apr 2009
This house is the 1854 rear-wing extension of a house in Railway Street (Image]), which itself is more modestly-decorated with only (!) three busts. Local sculptor William Wilson, of Tweedmouth, was the creator of the amazing ornamentation shown here - the whole surface is covered with chiselled patterns, there is an acanthus cornice, each of the main windows has a mask on its keystone, the attic-windows have scrolled architraves, and a large stone eagle oversees the whole glorious scene.
