William Elder & Sons

A new book, “William Elder & Sons Ltd: agricultural engineers” by Antony Chessell, has just been published by the Berwick Community Trust (who now occupy the William Elder Building in Castlegate).

For 125 years, William Elder & Sons Ltd. was a leading manufacturer, iron founder and distributor of agricultural machinery and implements. This is the story of a family dynasty which started in Tweedmouth and expanded into headquarters in Berwick-upon-Tweed with branches throughout Northumberland, south-east Scotland and the Borders, and which generated a national and international reputation.

The book costs £20.00 and is available from Berwick Community Trust (58/60 Castlegate) and from other local booksellers (283 pages, many illustrations, hardcover. ISBN 978-1-326-54159-0).

Net proceeds from sales will go to the Berwick Community Trust.
