It is indeed pronounced as you guessed. When I was working at the castle, I had the misfortune of working with a documentary film crew from the Discovery Channel. Generally, they spent a lot of time asking really, really, stupid questions and pronouncing all of the local place names incorrectly; Bam-burrah (Bamburgh) was Bam-BERG, Anik (Alnwick) was Alan-WICK and my dear old Duram (Durham) was DER-Ham. I'm sure that somewhere in the final cut you'll be able to hear me spluttering in outrage when they get it wrong time and time again, after being corrected persitently (and hotly) by everyone else on site.
