I was asked by someone in Canada whose ancestors came from here if I could get a photo of Newtack. In fact, this is where Newtack was. It was obliterated about 40 years ago by the farmer who owned the land. The farm at left is Smithyton, the owner of which has recently acquired the field which once was Newtack.
