Just a few miles from the Scottish border and nestled on the windswept Northumberland coast, Berwick-upon-Tweed is England's most northerly town. While its centuries-old past is littered with blood-soaked power struggles, voters living here today are hopeful they won't be cast aside by whoever grasps electoral victory in July.
Once known as the "Alexandria of the North", the town changed hands between England and Scotland 13 times over the years, with the power struggle continuing until 1482. "Edinburgh and Newcastle, where there are big hospitals, are just too far for me to travel really so I currently have a temporary job in a supermarket," she says.
It has elected two well-known politicians, Sir William Beveridge, who was influential in the formation of the NHS, and Edward Grey, foreign secretary at the start of World War One, best remembered for the remark "lamps are going out all over Europe".
