My date's name was Irene and... [more]

The lady on the photo is my Mum. She was waiting to meet me out of Beauvale School. The baby in the pram was a neighbour's little girl, my friend Teresa. ( We are still friends today.) Teresa was 10 years younger than me, so I would be nearly 11 at that time.
Years later, from 1965-67, after 7 years... [more]

Newark owes much of its development to the fact that Henry I gave Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, permission to divert the route of the Fosse Way through the town. In the late 17th century the main road from Nottingham to Newark went via Charlton (Carlton), Burton, Gunthorp (Gunthorpe), Horingham Ferry (Hoveringham), Bleasby Ferry and Stoak (Stoke) where it joined the Fosse...
