Heritage Open Day: This exhibition documents the salmon fishers of Berwick-upon-Tweed during spring and summer 2026. The photographs offer a glimpse into a community whose work is defined by patience, skill, and an enduring connection to the River Tweed. For centuries, the River Tweed has shaped the lives of those who work upon it. Along its banks and tidal reaches, salmon fishers have developed a deep understanding of the river’s moods, seasons, and rhythms.
Rather than focusing solely on the catch, these images captured by Jordan Hodgson explore the team behind the practice: their routines, relationships, and knowledge of the river. Together, they tell a story of labour, tradition, and identity within a landscape that continues to shape them both.
