11, Castlegate
This building enjoys a prime position in Newark. It was originally a prestigious house, built in 1725. Owners included a brewer, Samuel Sketchley, one time Mayor of Newark, and a doctor, Patrick Kinmont, who may have added the two bay windows, which were at one time at the front.
In the late 1920s the house was converted into a garage, the bay windows were removed to give access to the showroom window. Gradually the early eighteenth century ornamental railings, piers and gates were removed. Eventually a single story extension was built across the front.
It was rennovated and converted to a shop in the 1980s. For more about that process see:
