Bygones: What was making the news in the Newark Advertiser in 1997, 1972 and 1922

The Advertiser has opened it archives once again to look at what was in the news this week 25, 50 and 100 years ago.

Back in 1997, residents were campaigning for safety measures on Devon Road, Newark, and Coronation Street's Len Fairclough was judging Newark carnival's hotpants competition.

And 100 years ago, there were discussions about bringing an electricity supply to Newark and surrounding areas.
