About the Book

Ever wondered what happens when you mix mammoth hunters, Roman potters, Viking landlords, Civil War cannonballs, and a 21st-century bloke with a curious mind and a sarcasm problem? You get this book! Written by local and self-declared "heritage whisperer" Dave Fargher, this is Newark-on-Trent's entire history-told with wit, warmth, and a healthy disrespect for dusty textbooks. From flint tools to fibre broadband, this book takes you on a whirlwind tour through the town's prehistoric party pads, medieval mayhem, Tudor textiles, Victorian viaducts, and digital-age delights. Who's it for? History lovers who like their facts with a side of fun. .Locals who've walked past Newark Castle a thousand times and still don't know why King John died there (spoiler: it wasn't the food). Visitors who want to know what makes this market town tick (and occasionally explode).Anyone who thinks history should be more pub chat than PowerPoint. Why buy it? Because Newark's story deserves to be told-and laughed at. It's a 150 page tale of resilience, reinvention, and really questionable royal decisions. Plus, it's packed with fascinating facts, forgotten legends, and enough puns to make a Saxon blush. So grab a copy, grab a cuppa (or a pint), and prepare to fall in love with Newark-on-Trent-one witty, wonderful chapter at a time. The information in this book has been lovingly cobbled together from a wide range of sources, including archaeological reports, historical records, local archives, museum exhibits, and the occasional dog walk conversation. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, and the facts presented are true to the best of the author's knowledge. That said, this is not a peer-reviewed academic tome. It's a local history book written by a proud amateur with a passion for Newark-on-Trent and a sarcasm dial permanently stuck on "mildly cheeky." The humour throughout is intentional and used to make history more engaging, not to diminish its importance or the people involved. If you spot a factual error, a typo, or a joke that made you groan audibly-congratulations, you're now part of the historical process. Corrections, suggestions, and compliments (especially the last one) are always welcome. The Book also contains a wealth of additional resource too: A complete timeline of Newarks History Former Factories Historic sites and points of interest The Myth of The Newark Tunnels The Story of Newarks walls and gates and a special creative treat at the end: ) Enjoy
