Newark-on-Trent
Trent Bridge
Built in 1775 by Stephen Wright with footways and railings dated 1848 to carry the Great North Road over the River Trent by Newark Castle. The date on the railings with the Newark coat of arms reads MDCCCXLVIII .... remembered with a local mnemonic of 'Medical doctors can't cure cats XLV 123' .... or 1848.

A rainbow over the new turning for Elston on the rerouted A46
One side of this junction for Elston village is still demarcated by cones as the island has not yet been put in. The cones - and a No Entry sign - reflect the sunlight very brightly from the vantage point of the bridge.
The cones on this side of the carriageway mark the edges of the slip-roads as the island has not yet been put in, as it has already on the southbound side.

Portland Street-Victoria Street, Newark,... (C) David Hallam-Jones
Currently called 'The Chapel', this building originally housed the 'Christ Church Parochial Rooms'. The premises were constructed in 1885 for bible classes, women's meetings, meetings for members of the Church of England's Temperance Society and for the distribution of soup to the poor 'with up to 1,000 gallons of soup being distributed per year'. Most recently, it has been a Business Centre. By the time the B6166 (leading to Farndon) has reached here, Portland Street - behind the photographer - has become Victoria Street

Newark- winter morning in Appleton Gate (C) John Sutton
The ancient stone wall on the left encloses what was once an Austin Friary and is now a house which Pevsner describes as 'a rambling stone building, C17 in its earliest parts' (see Lambert's <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1984527'>SK8054 : Medieval house in Newark on Trent</a>). Appleton Gate consists mainly of 18th- and early 19th-century houses and shops, increasingly grand the nearer the centre of the town. The icy pavements were perilous just after 8.30 after a fortnight of snow and low temperatures; I had just come a cropper, but with no damage to wrist, hip or camera.

This was one of the infamous level crossings that blighted the Great North Road. It's near the cattle market in Newark.
