The building is is currently run as a small café, with stunning views of the river and beyond.

Currently operating as a café, it was offered to the trust to ensure it was safeguarded as a community asset.

The building was previously a public men’s convenience, which stood empty for 30 years until it was purchased from Berwick Borough Council by the Berwick-upon-Tweed Preservation Trust in 1997.

It was converted to office space and the roof lookout space was created, hence the name.

Berwick Community Trust operations director Becci Murray said: “We are excited to see what the future holds for this quirky landmark building.”
