EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the grandeur of Newark Castle Public Gardens and Gilstrap Free Library. The image captures the essence of a peaceful day in this historical setting, with its magnificent architecture and serene surroundings. The fortified castle stands proudly in the background, reminding us of its significance as a symbol of justice and strength. The ramparts and bridges that connect different parts of the fortress add an air of mystery to the scene. It is easy to imagine politicians and local leaders walking across these bridges, discussing matters of importance for Nottinghamshire. In the foreground, we see Alderman Hole, Mayor of Newark at that time, accompanied by Mr H Branston JP. They are engrossed in conversation while admiring the view before them. Their presence adds a human touch to this otherwise monumental landscape. The Gilstrap Free Library stands gracefully on one side, offering knowledge and enlightenment to all who seek it. Its architectural beauty complements that of Newark Castle Public Gardens perfectly. Overall, this engraving transports us back to an era where fortifications were not just structures but symbols representing power and security. It invites us to appreciate both nature's tranquility within these gardens as well as humanity's pursuit for progress through education provided by libraries like Gilstrap Free Library.
