Edward I besieged and sacked the town of Berwick in 1296 after pretending to retreat from the city and flying counterfeit Scottish banners to trick the residents into letting his army inside the walls. Once within the city, the English army slaughtered an estimated 7,500 residents over two days, showing no mercy to men, women, or children in what became known as the Sack of Berwick. The brutal attack left the Scottish people in Berwick helpless and had a significant impact on their population.

Redcliffe was first inhabited by Indigenous Australians and was established as a convict settlement in 1824 but was abandoned two years later due to a lack of fresh water. In the 1880s, Redcliffe became a seaside resort as people sought to holiday on its safe, sandy beaches. Access to Redcliffe improved with the opening of the Hornibrook Bridge in 1935, connecting it to the mainland and allowing the population to grow.1922

The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton was the event of the decade, and today marks the third anniversary. See all the beautiful pictures again.
Prince William married Catherine Middleton in the most anticipated Royal Wedding of the decade, on 29th April 2011. And as the couple celebrate their 4th anniversary, we're looking back at those incredible wedding pictures from the big day.
Held in the iconic Westminster Abbey, the world watched on as the bride-to-be stepped out of her classic wedding car, after a short but no doubt nervous journey through the streets of London, revealing her breathtaking Alexander McQueen gown to the waiting crowds.
Nipped-in at the waist and featuring delicate vintage-inspired lace sleeves, Kate Middleton's incredible gown was the perfect choice for a royal bride, and no doubt inspired thousands of replica versions across the globe.
Alongside her, Maid Of Honour Pippa Middleton wowed in an equally chic invory Alexander McQueen gown.
And the guests didn't dissappoint on the style-front either. The royal family were a delight in complimentary pastel shades. While Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie went one step further, opting for showstopping creations that were anything but boring.
The Beckhams joined the celebrity guests, with Victoria opting for a striking navy dress of her own creation, and David a dapper morning suit.
From the arrival of the bride and guests, the beautiful ceremony to the newly married couple zipping out in a vintage car for a spin around town - we chart the most incredible moments from the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.History of Whitley Bay

Whitley Bay has a long history dating back to 1100 when King Henry I gave the land to the Priory of Tynemouth. Old industries included coal mining and limestone quarrying. In the late 19th century, more people began visiting Whitley Bay for holidays when the railway line opened in 1882. Several iconic landmarks were built in the early 20th century, including the Spanish City in 1910 and St. Mary's Lighthouse in 1898. Over time, the town has undergone regeneration with demolition of older structures and development of new areas, parks, and a library.Victorian Times - School Project by Lucy Cotterill, age 8

The author is a Presbyterian planter from Scotland who was given 1,500 acres of land in county Tyrone as part of the Ulster Plantation established by King James I. The plantation brought Protestant settlers from Scotland and England to Ireland in order to establish a loyal Protestant population, generate revenue through rents, and displace the Gaelic Irish population. As an undertaker, the planter is responsible for meeting conditions like building a stone enclosure and is prohibited from having Gaelic Irish tenants. While the plantation has successfully spread English culture and Protestant religions, the Gaelic Irish still pose a threat through occasional attacks from hiding places in forests and hills, risking an uprising against the plantation's success.Scottish Wars of Independence - berwick, dunbar and defeat for balliol

The Vikings originated from Scandinavia and during the Viking Age from around 700-1100 AD, they traveled to places like Britain and Ireland for both war and trade. Some Vikings raided and stole treasures from places like monasteries, while others settled in new lands as farmers or merchants. In 793, Norse Vikings attacked the Christian monastery at Lindisfarne in England, looting treasures and killing monks, shocking the local population. Over the centuries, there were many battles as the Vikings fought English kings for control of English lands, with the last Viking king of York being deposed in 954 after his death in battle.Scottish Wars of Independence - edward as scotland's overlord

Celtic people settled in Britain around 700 BC and had women leaders such as Boadicea who fought against the Romans. The Romans occupied most of England and Wales by AD 43 and built Hadrian's Wall along the Scottish border. When the Romans left, the Angles and Saxons attacked Britain and the Celts fled to Wales, Scotland, and Cornwall. In 793, the Vikings attacked the monastery on Lindisfarne, killing the monks and stealing gold and silver. The Vikings then remained in Britain for almost 300 years as they sought new farmland and often raided other peoples for valuable goods. They were skilled sailors who decorated their longships with dragon heads.The vikings
