The handsome colonnaded building in the foreground was for centuries an inn, the Saracen's Head. Beyond it, the erstwhile Clinton Arms. Newark was on the old Great North Road, and did very well out of passing trade. Notice the expanse of cobbles - there can't be that many towns in England that could match this, not in the 21st century.
