More about this scene

Around a hundred years before this picture was taken, the cobblestones of Newark Market Place would have echoed to the clatter of stagecoaches and carriers' waggons. The early 1830s were the boom years for the stagecoach industry, with around 3500 scheduled runs taking to the roads every day. Thirty coaches a day made scheduled stops at Newark, with additional services operated by local carriers within a 10–15 mile radius of the town.
