	Retford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Retford is a market town in northeastern Nottinghamshire, England in the district of Bassetlaw.
		Retford gained its first charter in 1246, when Henry III granted the right for a fair, this was later extended to holding a Saturday Market by Edward I in 1275.
		Retford was largely destroyed by a fire in 1528, but prospered after the Great North Road was diverted to run through the town in 1766 and the Chesterfield Canal (1777) and the direct London to York railway (1849) were both routed via the borough.
