I grew up in Newark and you can see the pub (on castle gate (bright white) the Royal Oak in the aerial castle shots.. my Mum and me lived there when the landlord was away.. played in the underground tunnels all under Newark as kids ...... didnt think nor understand what they were back then...
ps .. we ( aged 10)found a bricked up civil war stable, in one tunnel.. beyond the St Mary's church to Appleton Gate .. there were pottery ale jugs with straw "jackets" .....that's just turned to dust as soon as the air touched them .... right before our eyes ........ we always tried telling the adults.. but they thought we were lying....... However...... look on google map for.. *Newark Civil War museum* and yep.. that's the very same building the tunnel went from to the castle..

hi .. I lived in the Royal oak pub (Google maps) 1976 - 78. its was the original castle- inn stables... we used to play in all the tunnels all under Newark as kids... and seeing all of the rediscovery videos on YT makes me giggle... cuz we played Medieval Knights down there as children... what people dream of discovering.... I feel very privileged... ( there were many tunnels running in /out of Newark) probably filled in now)
hi.... I grew up from 72 in the castles orginal stable tavern .. the Royal oak pub.. you can see it in the drone footage its situated across the road (castle gate) its the bright white building . we used to play in the underground tunnels All under NEWARK as kids ........ at 47 and now understanding the history and the mystery of the tunnels it makes me feel rather privileged...
hi Richard. you may wish to,talk with me ...... I grew up in Newark from 72 .. my mum looked after the Royal oak pub on Castle gate .... I've been down in those tunnels.. under Newark .. as 8 year old kids .. they went everywhere 2ft wide X 4ft high ... cut through clay with watel and dorb( sorry about spelling),( and I'm guessing here.... I was 8) they went beyond the towns old boundaries.. I remember 1 came up right down by the end of millgate ( across from the Spring house pub) .. all this came back to my memories about 4 months ago whilst watching this on UA-cam????!!!!!!!!!!! (you could say "floding back" SEVERN TRENT | WATER AND SEWAGE TREATMENT I'd love to know where that tunnel running under from Northern Road/ Castle gate to Mill Gate .. came out ... because that's where that old tunnels entrance was?????!!!!! so if you know if they found anything archaeological around their, I'd be very interested to hear I discovered bricked up in the cellar stairwell a..... civil war stable.... by a building what is now the National civil war centre .. back in 95 .. the building was my friend Chris Victorian furniture restoration workshop and show room ( directly opposite the church gardens) we knocked a brick out..shone a torch into the gap..and there was the stable right on the other side of the wall .. Chris said hed contact the civil war society.. I left Newark 2 weeks later to be a bluecaot for pontins and forgot all about it.. till a few months ago ????!!!!
ps.. when you go down into the castle vaults, (by/below the queens window), I remember a tiny thin gap in a wall, that went off toward Kelham direction.. but we never dared to go along it as everyone said it went under the Trent .. and that was enough for us to not go there ... does anyone know if the gaps still there and if so?? where did it go ... please remember that the castle was a ruin back then completely open and most kids played their.... I wish I'd understood back then about history.. to know what I was witnessing.
pps ... from what I remember.... 78- 85 ish along castle gate, down a alleyway, there was a video games arcade ( trying desperately to remember it's name) well ... there was one tunnel defo going under those shops towards the castle .. one from castle under the church ( a side tunnel came up at wing tavern by church) then bent off towards the friary grounds .. wed laugh when we came out at the friary end because it was so strange that we'd gone under where we lived ???!!! we were 8-9-11 years old and those entrances were Just something that was just there.. just another place to play ( we were like bombsite kids in the blitz) . anyway .. there used to be a tiny sweet shop/cabin, (as small as bus shelter- tiny,) on the fossewa,y next to Sconce hills entrance (across from the spring house pub) well it closed and was demolished.... and a tunnel was found, we reckoned it went under the fosseway and join with the one across in millgate... however it was collapsed in.. nor sure if hole made when diggers knocked it down???!!!!!! we used to go up into Clay lane and into a tunnel there .... but none ever knew/recognized where it was wed come out the other end.. because it was somewhere that we'd been before Behond Newark as kids ... it was woodland on the just on tr he edge of fields in the countryside ( we stayed played in Newark) until about 15 years old .. so no idea where it was really.. but some wher out behond clay lane .... I hope this is interesting.. as I say ... ee were just kids playing...
I played as Medieval knights.. aged 6 to 9 (1977 - 1980) with my mates down these tunnels ALL underneath that castle / town.. there were loads of them ... then the council put steel door covers on the entrances.. and that was that .... or ........ was it ??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I discovered the bricked up Civil War stables in the cellar along AppletonGate..back in 95 .. my mate Chris had his Victorian furniture restoration workshop/show room there I not that the size of the Stairwell on the ground floor was a different size in comparison to the ones in the cellar below.. so I got s hammer.. knocked a brick out ... and shone a torch in the Hole and ...... right there was a Civil War horse stable.. Chris said that he would contact the civil war trust ....I left Newark 2 weeks later, to be a Blue coat at Pontins ( so OBVIOUSLY forgot all about the stable)..... so ..... its amazing and brilliant to see the museum is there ...... I feel quite chuffed mushyky
ps.. my mum looked after the royal oak pub ( the castle stables) and me and my brothers used to play in all the tunnels under Newark...... do you know if anything was found ..when they put the steam tunnels under Newark last year ....... ????????

hi Richard. you may wish to,talk with me ......
I grew up in Newark from 72 .. my mum looked after the Royal oak pub on Castle gate .... I've been down in those tunnels.. under Newark .. as 8 year old kids .. they went everywhere 2ft wide X 4ft high ... cut through clay with watel and dorb( sorry about spelling),( and I'm guessing here.... I was 8) they went beyond the towns old boundaries.. I remember 1 came up right down by the end of millgate ( across from the Spring house pub) ..
all this came back to my memories about 4 months ago whilst watching this on UA-cam????!!!!!!!!!!! (you could say "floding back"
SEVERN TRENT | WATER AND SEWAGE TREATMENT
I'd love to know where that tunnel running under from Northern Road/ Castle gate to Mill Gate .. came out ... because that's where that old tunnels entrance was?????!!!!!
so if you know if they found anything archaeological around their, I'd be very interested to hear
I discovered bricked up in the cellar stairwell a..... civil war stable.... by a building what is now the National civil war centre .. back in 95 .. the building was my friend Chris Victorian furniture restoration workshop and show room ( directly opposite the church gardens)
we knocked a brick out..shone a torch into the gap..and there was the stable right on the other side of the wall ..
Chris said hed contact the civil war society..
I left Newark 2 weeks later to be a bluecaot for pontins and forgot all about it.. till a few months ago ????!!!!
ps.. when you go down into the castle vaults, (by/below the queens window), I remember a tiny thin gap in a wall, that went off toward Kelham direction..

along castle gate, down a alleyway, there was a video games arcade ( trying desperately to remember it's name) well ... there was one tunnel defo going under those shops towards the castle ..
one from castle under the church ( a side tunnel came up at wing tavern by church) then bent off towards the friary grounds .. wed laugh when we came out at the friary end because it was so strange that we'd gone under where we lived ???!!! we were 8-9-11 years old and those entrances were Just something that was just there.. just another place to play ( we were like bombsite kids in the blitz) .
anyway ..
there used to be a tiny sweet shop/cabin, (as small as bus shelter- tiny,) on the fossewa,y next to Sconce hills entrance (across from the spring house pub) well it closed and was demolished.... and a tunnel was found, we reckoned it went under the fosseway and join with the one across in millgate... however it was collapsed in..
nor sure if hole made when diggers knocked it down???!!!!!!
we used to go up into Clay lane and into a tunnel there .... but none ever knew/recognized where it was wed come out the other end.. because it was somewhere that we'd been before Behond Newark as kids ... it was woodland on the just on tr he edge of fields in the countryside ( we stayed played in Newark) until about 15 years old ..
so no idea where it was really.. but some wher out behond clay lane ....
I hope this is interesting.. as I say ... ee were just kids playing...
Nice one mate. Keep it up! Now we need to see those outtakes that you've got that you showed me. lmao. :D
I want to go to Newark now😘
I played as Medieval knights.. aged 6 to 9 (1977 - 1980) with my mates down these tunnels ALL underneath that castle / town.. there were loads of them ... then the council put steel door covers on the entrances.. and that was that .... or ........ was it ??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your "name" sounds the type who would be interested to learn that King John's treasure WAS taken to Newark...
Cool video. If you like history and stuff like this google Fort Malden. It played a huge role for Canada in the war of 1812.
I like your thinking. Branch out and try different things. Be creative.
Ray Lamascus yep I was hoping the video would be longer but oh well
Newark-ON-TRENT not upon-Tyne. You're a fair few miles out there buddy!
Newark castle .. in Newark upon Tyne 😅😅😅 this is going to be worth watching ,,🤔🤔🤔🤔

My 24th great grandfather lived in that castle. Too bad it's so ruined.
Did you get chance to look around the civil war centre?
Magnetic g unfortunately no it was closed
I discovered the bricked up Civil War stables in the cellar along AppletonGate..back in 95 ..
