These Quay Wall properties were built in 1825 and leased to H M Customs who used them as a custom house for the Port of Berwick. In 1917, they became private houses but by 1971 they were empty, boarded up and falling down.
This task took a lot of work but the rewards were ample compensation. Importantly to the local people and town was the fact that the ruins on the Quay Wall, which had been a conspicuous blight on the face of the town, had been restored, brought back into use and integrated once again into Berwick's unique heritage.
