Think its because soldiers many years ago were based at Berwick,
due to events happening they re located to Coldstream and were part of Oliver Cromwells army.
Who then marched on London to remove the King.
How times have changed.
If any thing is in correct,please advise.

Being reported LIVE on BBC breakfast news on 10 June,

just wondering if they MIGHT try to get some live coverage while the train is in motion!

I have ... wondered at times ... why a village like Coldstream needs its own special guards ... but I digress!

Perhaps it's time for the Melksham militia?
