Newark-on-Trent or Newark is a market town in Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands of England. It stands on the River Trent, the A1, and the East Coast Main Line railway. The origins of the town of Newark on Tren are possibly Roman as it lies on an important Roman road, the Fosse Way.
The town of Newark on Trent grew around Newark Castle, now ruined, and a large marketplace, now lined with historic buildings, and was a centre for the wool and cloth trade. In the English Civil War, Newark on Trent was besieged by Parliamentary forces and had to be relieved by Prince Rupert in a battle known as the Relief of Newark.
Newark lies on the River Trent, with the River Devon also running through the town. Standing at the intersection of the Great North Road and the Fosse Way, Newark originally grew around Newark Castle – now ruined – and a large market place – now lined with historic buildings.
Newark's new police station opened in October 2006. The Palace Theatre is in Appletongate. The Market Place is the focal point of the town. The Queen's Head is an old pub. Alot more to see in ( Newark on Trent - UK ) such as :
The Church of St. Mary Magdalene is a Grade I listed building, notable for the tower and the octagonal spire (236 feet (72 m) high), the tallest in the county. It was heavily restored in the mid-19th century by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The reredos was added by Sir Ninian Comper.
Newark Castle was built alongside the Trent by Alexander of Lincoln, the Bishop of Lincoln in 1123, who established it as a mint. Of the original Norman stronghold the most important remains are the gate-house, a crypt and the tower at the south-west angle. King John died at this castle on the night of 18 October 1216. In the reign of Edward III it was used as a state prison. During the English Civil War it was garrisoned for Charles I, and endured three sieges. Its dismantling was begun in 1646, immediately after the surrender of the king.
The 16th-century Governor's House, named after Sir Richard Willis, Governor of Newark Castle at the time of the English Civil War, is in Stodman Street. Now a bread shop and cafe, it is also a Grade I listed building.
The Newark Torc, a major silver and gold Iron Age torc, the first found in Nottinghamshire and very similar to those of the Snettisham Hoard, was uncovered in 2005 in what is now a field on the outskirts of Newark
prebendal houses along Church Street and Westgate, and the town's Methodist church has the unusual feature of an old right-of-way running underneath it, necessitating a larger upstairs than downstairs seating capacity. The old workhouse, built in 1824, was the prototype for many others around the country. It is now owned by the National Trust and recreates the appearance and conditions in the 19th century.
Newark has two railway stations linked to the national network. The East Coast Main Line runs through Newark North Gate railway station providing links to London, Leeds, Newcastle upon Tyne and Edinburgh and is served by Virgin East Coast.

The founder of Newark Town Band the late Mr Robert English along with other interested parties who had been involved in the Royal British Legion Band decided to hold a Meeting in December 1956, at the meeting a decision was made to start a new town band. Instruments were obtained, firstly on loan, then later purchased from the recently defunct Southwell Band. A collection was also taken to raise funds to be able to rent a rehearsal room, other funds were raised by playing Christmas carols. The first rehearsal room was at the Spread Eagle pub on Middlegate. During 1957 the membership grew, Mr Robert English was a Civilian Musical Director with the Royal Air Force and also a Music Teacher and Brass Instructor for schools in the Newark area. He soon had lots of youngsters joining the band, some of those youngsters are back in the band again now including Mr Peter Footitt (Musical Director), Mr David Gatiss (Cornet player) and Mr Roger Bryan (Cornet player). The first official public engagement was on a Sunday evening in March 1958 at the Savoy cinema on Middlegate (now the Halifax Building Society). During the 1960s the band was involved in all the Civic events in the town as well as Christmas concerts in the Parish Church, concerts in the Town Hall ballroom, Sunday afternoon concerts in the Castle grounds and concerts in the Palace Theatre. Happily once again the band are playing at these venues. The bands 50th Anniversary concert was held at the Palace Theatre in 2006. There was also a social side to the band, this included a ladies section (mothers and wives of players) who worked hard in raising funds, a Junior section (which operated as a youth club), the band even had a Football team.
Rupert Trippett Musical Director Of Newark Town Band At Castle
Newark Town’s very own brass band has over 50 years of rich musical history, providing quality entertainment in the field of brass music both within Newark and the surrounding area. The last few years for the band have been an incredibly exciting time as, having been rejuvenated by Peter Footitt following its decline during the nineties, Peter’s success has served as an excellent platform from which new Musical Director, Rupert Trippet can build.
The band’s repertoire includes a full spectrum of genres ranging from light popular music through film and operatic works to the more traditional brass band music of times gone by. With a mixture of performances from our many soloists through to full band ensembles Newark Town Band always delivers performances to be remembered.
The band ‘family’ includes people from all walks of life and with ages ranging from 13 to 75 years old. There are currently a few official vacancies available in the band, but we are always welcoming of both new young talent and experienced players wishing to join us.
The band practises every Wednesday evening between 7-9pm at the Bridge Community Centre, Lincoln Road, Newark, NG24 2DQ. If you are interested in joining the band please contact the Band Secretary on: 07799 640935 or send an email to: newarktownband@hotmail.com

Newark Palace Singers It Takes A Worried Man
The conductor of The Palace Singers, Mrs Angela Kay
Members of a Newark choir, who agree singing is good for the heart, are encouraging more people to join them.
The Palace Singers, whose members are all retired, rehearse at the Conservative Club, London Road, Newark, on Tuesdays from 10.30am-12.30pm.
Did you know, research shows that Singing is good for you it is said to exercise the lungs and your heart. It will cause the body to produce feel-good hormones called endorphins, improve posture, increase mental alertness and tone the muscles in the stomach and back and exercise the muscles in the face. The health benefits of singing are both physical and psychological. Singing has physical benefits because it is an aerobic activity that increases oxygenation in the blood stream and exercises major muscle groups in the upper body, even when sitting. Singing has psychological benefits because of its normally positive effect in reducing stress levels through the action of the endocrine system which is linked to our sense of emotional well-being. Psychological benefits are also evident when people sing together as well as alone because of the increased sense of community, belonging and shared endeavour. Newark Palace Singers angela.kay100@gmail.com
The choir has about 34 members from Newark and surrounding villages, aged from their 60s to their mid-80s.
It was formed 25 years ago and got its name from Newark Palace Theatre where it used to rehearse.
Many Thanks To Newark Palace Singers Who Present An Newark Community First Aid Charity Concert At St Giles Church Hall Balderton. This took place on Sunday evening and Raised £450. We Are So Grateful.

Newark on Trent, Cattle Market Island.
Another poor traffic island in this area. The van should have been in the right hand lane to head towards the town centre. It's an easy mistake to make here.
Always expect wrong lane and lorries pulling out in this area.

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
