Today Marple Bridge is the most delightfully pretty little village.
In the early years of the 19th century, there were only 93 houses in the town.
Besides the vast acreage of excavated docks, there were numerous riverside wharfs, from the grandeur of Hay's Wharf near London Bridge to this rather less grand one near the west entrance to the Royal

Around here there were many lead mines, and the village had two pubs to cater for the miners two hundred years ago.
The railway bridge is at the far end.
The water is as smooth as glass, and the varied trees, the aquatic plants at the water's edge, and the reeds in the distance are a complete contrast to what goes on further down the broad at Wroxham bridge
On the right, in front of the bridge, there is a lifting winch.
We are looking onto Nag's Head Island from the river bridge.
The Macclesfield road rises in the distance to the bridge over the railway line, with the station and livestock market going down on the left.

The 'Bridge of Sighs' in the foreground leads to the Eastern Necropolis.
There is still a bank on the corner, but the market cross of 1790 is now located to the right of the square, after standing in the park opposite between 1968 and 1986.
There exists at least one account that states that the plague reached Newark in the summer of 1665, said to have been brought to the town in contaminated patterns of woollen cloths delivered to a draper
