| NENTHORN (Parish) | Nenthorn | Continued | [Continued from Page 7] The northern part of the parish Consists chiefly of a wet reddish Clay on a retentive bottom, interspersed with Considerable portions of good dry turnip soil. The Southern Section is more in the Vale of the Tweed, and partakes of the richer qualities of that neighbourhood, being a mixture of Clay and gravelly loam. The nearest market & Pack-town is Kelso, four miles distant from the church, which is in the Centre; but much of the farm produce is sold at Dalkeith or Berwick, to which places there are good roads, whence the Carts returned with Coals, lime or Bone dust, within the last 40 years the roads have been greatly improved. Two Bridges have been thrown over the Eden, which had formerly to be forded on foot or horseback, often at much risk. Old Parishioners [Continued on Page 9] |
