Newark Through Time
A tour through pictures, to the town and to some of the fascinating buildings and wealth of history it holds
By Nalhs Newark
'Amongst the interesting old towns which have a history that is worth narrating, the Borough of Newark-upon-Trent, once dignified by the title " Key to the North", may fairly claim a worthy place' - Cornelius Brown, Annals of Newark, 1879.
Whilst we do not even begin to attempt to emulate Cornelius Brown, it is hoped that this book will open a brief window into Newark's evolution over time, and give a tantalising hint to its historical story.
We have tried to show the progression of some of Newark's landmarks - a few not commonly seen, or even known about - covering a period from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1970s. Some views have improved, others not, but all have been changed by the progression of time.
