About

Bridge ward encompasses a central portion of Newark-on-Trent, situated between the River Trent to the west and the London Road (A46) to the east. The area includes a mix of residential streets, local retail, and light industrial units. The historic Newark Castle, with its riverside grounds, forms a significant part of the ward's western boundary, overlooking the river and the adjacent Trent Bridge, a key crossing point.

The ward contains the town's main bus station and the cattle market, which remains an active trading site. Residential areas are primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, along with some modern developments. The presence of the castle ruins and the strategic importance of the river crossing have historically defined this part of Newark.
