Main Street - Fisketon Wharf
Fiskerton
Nottinghamshire
England
Looking from the front of the Bromley Arms at the side of the River Trent. Located between the Gunthorpe Bridge and Newark, three miles south-east of Southwell, on the north bank of the Trent, opposite Stoke. Fiskerton Wharf had a ferry, several coal wharfs and warehouses and would have been a loading place for grain and coal barges on the river. It had a lace thread factory, which in 1837 was converted into a corn mill; it also had a boot black factory and malt houses.
