Friar Tuck tug, Newark Marina
This neatly restored diesel river tug was built by Cooks of Wivenhoe for the Docks and Inland Waterways Executive, the precursor of today's Canal and River Trust. In service until 2010, she was based at Newark-on-Trent mainly towing dredging hoppers and undertaking other maintenance work. Since restoration she has been used to tow the Newark Heritage Barge (Leicester Trader) to open days in Newark.

Sugar Beet Factory, Newark, Notts.
The British Sugar plc factory on the side of The Great North Road (the A616), south of Muskham, is seen here from Newark Marina. Of the 18 factories once owned by the British Sugar Corporation, only four still process beet - Bury St Edmunds (Suffolk) Cantley and Wissington (Norfolk) and Newark-on-Trent. River traffic heading for Newark would pass the marina - behind the photographer - from left to right.

Orchard House, Farndon Road
The area to the right of the house was formerly occupied by a linen factory, established by George Scales in 1793. Apart from being at a good communications centre, there was also an excellent spring close by which enabled high quality linen to be produced. Production ceased in 1889. The buildings appear as 'disused' on maps for some time thereafter. Today the only survivor is this house built by George Scales Junior in 1806, an attractive, typical Georgian town house. Listed Grade II.
