Bygones: A look at what was making the news in the Newark Advertiser in 1997, 1972 and 1922

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

In 1997, it was announced that the driving test centre in Newark was set to close, while, in more positive news, work finally started on the Riverside Park development.

And fifty years ago, there was the Battle of the Bramley over European Common Market regulations.
