Newton is a village and civil parish in the Rushcliffe district, in the county of Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 1miles south-west of East Bridgford and about 1miles south-east of the River Trent, close to the junction of the A46 Fosse Way and the A6079. It had 841 residents at the 2021 census.
RAF Newton is a disused airfield immediately to the south of Main Street. It opened in July 1940 and closed in 2000.[1] The hangars and other buildings are now used by a number of businesses within the Newton Commercial Centre.
Newton Mill was a wooden post mill built before 1855. It ceased work c. 1920 and the buck was dismantled c. 1952. Some parts, including a stone neck bearing, were donated to the Science Museum in London. The brick roundhouse now belongs to the Crown.[2]
