A late 19th Century view of Newark Castle and bridge across the River Trent in Newark-on-Trent, in Nottinghamshire. Originally a timber castle, it was founded in the mid 12th century by Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln then rebuilt in stone towards the end of the century. Dismantled in the 17th century after the English Civil War, the castle was restored in the 19th century, first by Anthony Salvin in the 1840s and then by the corporation of Newark who bought the site in 1889.
