Within the enclosure is a monument marking the grave of Charles Thompson. He died in 1784 and had become wealthy as a cloth trader, and used his wealth for charitable purposes. text/html 2005-06-28T11:07:58GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/409 Peter Kochut 53.129886 -1.186929 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/22016 Much of Mansfield is built on sandstone. It has been quarried for many years and used for moulds in ironfounding. Together with locally available coal this was the basis of several former ironfoundries in the town. This quarry, now closed is being used for new housing. In the 1960s I remember walking here, along a public footpath through a field of wheat or barley, before the quarrying dug so deeply. text/html 2005-06-28T11:00:59GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/409 Peter Kochut 53.132582 -1.186878 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/22015 A sandstone outcrop off Berry Hill Road, then the rec and some houses built in the 1970s and 80s. Much of this area was formerly a sand quarry, closed many years ago. text/html 2005-06-08T10:37:52GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/409 Peter Kochut 53.120938 -1.193075 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/16330 "Derby Road Tech." seen from a footpath through a field of wheat. text/html 2005-06-02T23:10:33GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/409 Peter Kochut 53.140763 -1.200178 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/14759 Close to Mansfield railway station, the pedestrian bridge over the inner ring road.

It is farmland, but the old country lanes are rapidly being transformed into major new roads and may perhaps soon be hemmed in by industry. It is in the north west corner of square SK5258 and overlaps a little into surrounding squares. text/html 2005-05-22T14:49:50GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/409 Peter Kochut 53.109700 -1.129049 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/11736 Cottage Farm, Blidworth Lane. text/html 2005-05-22T12:31:39GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/409 Peter Kochut 53.117384 -1.199118 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/11695 The aptly named "MARR" road, opened in 2005, not yet shown on the OS map. Here shown cutting through the Stonehills Plantation and across Cauldwell Road. Picture taken from the new A611 bridge. Just above the little yellow field is a hill with a single tree visible on top. This is Hamilton Hill, something of a local landmark at SK520589. text/html 2005-05-20T21:37:38GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/409 Peter Kochut 53.099347 -1.190492 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/11306 Norwegian Spruce plantation. text/html 2005-05-20T21:35:01GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/409 Peter Kochut 53.100246 -1.190475 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/11305 A plantation of Norwegian Spruce trees. Common fern or bracken grows beneath the trees, except where the woodland is dense and dark.
