Today’s Looking Back pictures have been contributed by Brian Pearce, who is best known in the city for his role as a trustee and volunteer with charity and attraction Railworld.

Brian’s pictures are a “going, going, gone” sequence showing the old Newark Church Of England School in Oxney Road being demolished to make way for a new road.

Were you a pupil at the school?

Do you know when it was demolished and what was the school that replaced it?

The Oxney Road area is home to a Sainsburys superstore which opened on August 15, 1989. Was the demolition of the school part of the redevelpment of the area that saw the building of the new supermarket?
