*************

Newark-on-Trent or Newark (/ˈnjuːərk/)^[1] is a market town and civil parish^[2] in the Newark and Sherwood district of the county of Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands of England. It stands on the River Trent, the A1 – on the route of the ancient Great North Road) – and the East Coast Main Line railway. The origins of the town are possibly Roman, as it lies on an important Roman road, the Fosse Way. The town grew around Newark Castle, now ruined, and a large market place, now lined with historic buildings. It was a centre for the wool and cloth trades. In the English Civil War, it 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.

However Newark forms a continuous built-up area with the neighbouring parish of Balderton to the south-east. To the south of the town, along the A46 road, is Farndon, and to the north is Winthorpe.

Newark's growth and development have both been enhanced by its possession of one of the few bridges over the River Trent, the navigability of the river, the presence of the Great North Road (the A1, etc.), and later the advance of the railways, bringing a junction between the East Coast Main Line and the route from Nottingham to Lincoln. "Newark became a substantial inland port, particularly for the wool trade,"^[16] though it industrialised to some extent during the Victorian era, and later with an ironworks, engineering, brewing, and a sugar refinery.

as opened in 1964 by the then Minister of Transport, Ernest Marples.^[17] The single-carriageway £34m A46 opened in October 1990.
