Description: 53269C NEWICK'S LOBSTERS Restaurant and Lobster Pound on the BayDover Point Road, Dover, Strafford County, New Hampshire Published by EASTERN ILLUSTRATING CO., New London, NHMade by Dexter Press, Inc., West Nyack, NY Postmarked CHESTER, NH 17 DEC 1978Canceled 1977 Violet 10c People's Right to Petition For Redress__________________________ John Newick, patriarch of the family who worked at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and became a lobsterman in the 1930s, began the family's foray into fresh seafood when he started selling the surplus of his catch from the waters of the Great Bay in a small roadside stand. As a way to help supplement the family's income during the Great Depression, John started to sell his lobsters on the side. As the government didn't ration the number of lobsters that people could buy, John sold more and more eventually opening a retail lobster shop and take-out eatery off Dover Point Road in 1941 where he sold lobster rolls for 35 cents. In 1954, when the Spaulding Turnpike was being built, John was forced to move from his location so that the highway could go through but that didn't stop him from selling lobsters as he opened a restaurant on Ceres Street in downtown Portsmouth, which is now Ferry Landing. That restaurant was open until 1963. When John's son Jack got out of the U.S. Coast Guard in 1960, he purchased a small plot of land in Dover on Little Bay near where his father's first retail shop/restaurant opened in 1941. Like his father before him, Jack also worked at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and since Jack was under 21 at the time of his property purchase, his father had to sign the papers along with him. Buying property a little bit at a time, Jack, following in his father's footsteps, started a retail lobster shop in a small shed. With business doing well, in 1963 Jack and his wife Diana - his first employee - built a 50-seat restaurant/stand in Dover followed in 1976 by a 340-seat restaurant in Portland, Maine and in 1978, another Newick's Restaurant in Hampton. When the 50-seat dining room in Dover was outgrown by its clientele, Jack, with the help of friends and neighbors, built a 380-seat addition to the original 50-seat restaurant in 1982 making his Dover location the biggest of his Newick's Restaurants. Tragically, disaster struck on Memorial Day Weekend in 1983 when the restaurant caught fire and burned to the ground but within five weeks, Newick's had risen from the ashes as all of its employees pitched in to help rebuild in the same location. On July 7, 1983 the 14,500-square-foot restaurant - this time with seating for 650 guests - opened for business again and has been ever since. https://www.thedistractedwanderer.com/2012/08/noshing-at-newicks-on-great-bay-in-new.html__________________________ Dover is a city in Strafford County, New Hampshire, United States.

Dover is drained by the Cochecho and Bellamy rivers, both of which flow into the tidal Piscataqua River, which forms the city's eastern boundary and the New Hampshire–Maine border. Long Hill, elevation greater than 300 feet (91 m) above sea level and located 3 miles (5 km) northwest of the city center, is the highest point in Dover. Garrison Hill, elevation approximately 290 ft (88 m), is a prominent hill rising directly above the center city, with a park and lookout tower on top.

South Berwick, Maine, lies to the northeast, across the tidal Salmon Falls River, and Eliot, Maine, is to the east, across the Piscataqua River.
