I believe that photo 5 may be Jame's Yard, just off Bridge St/Ratcliffe Gate. Looking down towards Bridge St.

Photo 4 and 5 are of Jame's Yard, looking down towards Bridge Street. This Yard existed up until the 1970's.

Photo no.2 I believe is looking up the River Maun towards Bridge Street from Rock Valley. Roughly from where St. Peters Way is now dead ahead is one of the gasometers at the gas works

Could photograph 2 be the River Maun from Tichfield Park looking towards Littleworth.

I believe photo no2 is Rock Court the building is Maltbys school and the building at the back I believe is the undertakers .

I think the building in picture 1 is of Stanton Mill on Bath Lane Mansfield.The number of windows along one side on the top floor match previous pics I have seen and it also had the large window in the apex

I think no 1 is the old Kings Mill after the fire in the late 60s

I Think the Building on he Left is the Old Meadow Foundry and the Large Building with the two Chimneys at the back on the left is The Brewery

1) Is Stanton Mill, viewed from the Sandy Lane direction looking up Bath Lane. 2)Is the undertakers that was adjacent to Rock Court. 3)I'm not too sure about. Could it be one of the buildings demolished on Wood Street. 4 + 5) Are both James Yard looking towards Bridge Street, just like Angela points out.

I think picture No2 is of the rear of Bolton's second hand furniture shop in Bridge Street

Picture 2 is the view down the Maun from what is now called Rock Valley (similar view can be had now from the top of the stairs adjacent the housing association flats) looking towards Bridge St. The old school at the back of the chapel on Bridge St is the building at top left. Pictures 4 and 5 are in a similar location but much closer to Bridge St, looking down to where the Bridge Inn is now (the building in picture 4 is the same one to the right of picture 5).

You are right about photos 2 and 5. Living in Broxtowe Drive this was my play area! I live in Devon now but wonderful to see these memories. Mansfield has changed so much when I last visited in 2009

Hello, Can somebody help me please? I am trying to find out where Greenwoods Yard was in Mansfield. I would also like to know about Walkers Yard and Claytons Yard. I would be most grateful of any help, many thanks

Old maps and directories are a good source for discovering where places were, these can be found in the Local Studies sections of Mansfield, and Mansfield Woodhouse Libraries. Nottinghamshire Archives Office also has some maps, and additionally try looking for old maps on the internet.

No.2 The gabled building in the centre of the picture was once Maltby's School, in Rock Court. In the 1920's my mother's family lived there before moving to a brand new council house on Ravensdale Rd at the start of the 30's when my mother was about 12.

Greenwoods Yard was between Ratcliffe Gate, and Pelham street. Access to it was made from Ratcliffe Gate, in between the shops just below the Brown Cow.

Photo 1 I believe was taken about 1972 and is taken from the old rail viaduct at Kings Mill looking towards the old burnt out mill. The foreground looks like it has just been infilled (which I believe was done about 1970) and the tree in the background on the left could therefore be one of the old willows at the side of the dam on the reservoir. The fall of ground on the right goes to the gorge under the viaduct if I'm right. John

I second John's conclusion that Photo 1 is the old mill at Kings Mill. I remember it having caught fire though I do not remember the year. He is also correct about the geography of the site.

Photo 1 is definitely Kings Mill. The fire happened in the early 1900's and I found another old photo of it that confirmed it was Kings Mill.

I was born in 1950 and at age 9 we would take rags to the building in picture No5 and maybe get a bob or two. Across was a scrap yard and some houses at the top of the lane.
