Newark, Nottinghamshire.
The River Trent Navigation - Newark Town Lock.
A view from the castle.
Over 90ft long and 32ft wide,
this lock was constructed in 1952 to
accommodate four barges at a time. At
the time of construction, numerous
petrol tanker barges regularly passed
through to discharge their loads at
Colwick. In the 1960s a pipeline grid for
the transport of oil took over this role
and the traffic in large barges virtually ceased.
The River Trent and its Devon tributary
have played an important role in Newark’s
life for many centuries. Before highways,
canals, railways and finally motor transport
were established, the rivers were the only
practical means to transport large and
heavy goods over long distances; rivers also
provided access to the sea for international
trade. Newark was built at the lowest
fording point on the Trent, which was
eventually protected by the castle and then
bridged, so it was natural that it should
become a centre for river-borne
commerce, particularly trading in wool.
The river banks hosted a thriving inland
port with wharves, warehouses, mills,
maltings and breweries bringing people,
employment and wealth to the town.
Our 14 night cruise on Marella Explorer 2 was actually 2 consecutive 7 night cruises, these being Tropical Delights (Barbados - St Lucia - Aruba - Curaçao - Bonaire - Grenada - Barbados) Followed by Paradise Islands (Barbados - Dominica - Antigua - St Kitts - St Maarten - Tortola - Barbados) and for each cruise a navigational chart was made and auctioned to raise money for the ship's Crew Welfare Fund. This is the chart for the Paradise Islands part of our cruise which at auction was sold for over £500.
