Berwick Upon Tweed Ramparts
Cumberland Bastion Flanker
The Cumberland Bastion Flanker facing Brass Bastion. All the Flankers were single storey with two embrasures for cannon. Note how far the face of the Flanker is set back in the Bastion to protect it from direct fire.
The cannon in the embrasure is a 6 Pounder dating from 1710. The effects of one of these firing grape-shot alnong the ditch can easily be imagined.
