Union Chain Bridge

Union Chain Bridge (Berwick-Upon-Tweed) on the border of Scotland and England

COUNTRY LIFE-JULY 6. 1961

A PIONEER SUSPENSION BRIDGE OF 1820

By F. M. COWE

One of Britain’s many fine bridges that deserve to be better known is Union Chain Bridge, which crosses the River Tweed and unites England with Scotland about five miles upstream from Berwick. It claims our interest mainly as the first large suspension bridge to be built in Britain, but it is also a very beautiful structure set in peaceful and unspoiled countryside.
