Now the Nottingham Building Society, the White Hart is "one of the paramount examples of late C15 timber-framed architecture in England" (Nikolaus Pevsner). "Highly decorated main front. The upper storeys, mostly intact, have twenty four closely-spaced uprights with tiny terracotta figures of saints, one with a book, the other with a palm, repeated time and time again. They may be later additions." For the whole of the facade, see Image

With a history dating back to 1341, the Saracen's Head Inn was once the principal coaching inn on the Great North Road at Newark. The current building dates from 1721 and like the adjacent Clinton Arms http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/761587 has a piazza of Tuscan columns facing the Market Square. King Charles reputedly stayed here on a visit to Newark and Jean Deans stayed here on her journey to London in Sir Walter Scott's novel 'The Heart of Midlothian'. It is now shops and a bank.

This 15th century timber-fronted building used to be The Old White Horse Inn. It seems that the whole building was saved from collapse by some extremely skilled restoration work in the 1970s, a process that included establishing the original colouring of the elaborate frontage.Here the observer is treated to a view up Stodman Street which in turn leads onto Castle Gate.

Marvellous grade II* listed timber-framed building, originally the old White Hart Hotel begun c1312, enlarged with this front to the Market Place c1470 and again c1526. It was Bainbridge's drapery store from 1867 to 1968 and was extensively restored in 1983, now offices of Nottingham Building Society.

Designated as a grade II* listed building (https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1196426 ) the timber framed building with the characteristic arch of a Coaching Inn was known as the White Hart. The frontage here dates from 1470, though some of the rear parts of the building are up to a century older. See Image for a view before the restoration that occurred in 1983.
