In and Around Westgate
Westgate is the name of a thoroughfare in the market town of Worksop in Nottinghamshire, which connects Newcastle Avenue, with Park Street.
It is situated in the historic part of this north Nottinghamshire Town, and there many interesting buildings and landmarks that have stood the test of time, plus others, which have gone forever, but can still be recorded for posterity.
This literary project aims to capture some of the bygone culture of the area in and around Westgate, as well as recording how it all appears in the present day.
With much assistance from local residence, the writer has been able to discover some interesting facts about this historic district, including the site of a Medieval Castle dating back as far as the late eleventh century.
The landscape around Westgate has seen major changes throughout the passing of time, and this will be ongoing as there are further developments planned for the near future.
Chris and his wife Pat came to live at the development of luxury apartments known as Grove Court in 2015, and since then, they have been keen to discover more about the history of the surrounding area.
They have lived in Worksop since 1982, but like many other people they had busy working lives, and didn’t take time to observe some of the amazing landscape features and historic buildings that the Westgate district of Worksop has to offer.
They have walked past numerous old buildings with splendid architecture, without even noticing what they represent from the past. Chris hopes this local study will be of interest to others living in this captivating locality, which has so much history for us all to appreciate.
'In and Around Westgate' is Chris' most recent publication, first hitting the bookshelves in May 2017.
