Newark Weir
Newark Weir
This is the western portion; the weir is divided into two by a small island. It served both as a navigation weir controlling water level above Town Lock, and as a head for 3 different mills.
River Trent

The River Trent is the third longest river in England (185 miles). It rises on Biddolph Moor, Staffordshire, then follows a generally north east to northerly path to join the River Ouse at Trent Falls. The Ouse & Trent combined form the Humber Estuary.
It is a very important river, economically having a number of Power Stations and industrial sites along its banks. It is navigable as far as Burton-On-Trent.
