Woodthorpe House, Mansfield Rd, NG5. This Grade II listed building now functions as Sherwood Community Centre, having been in existence for a very long time. There appears to be evidence of its existence on a 1774 map by a cartographer called Carter. In WWII it was used as the Regimental H.Q. of the 161th Mixed Heavy A.A. Regiment when Nissen huts were erected in the grounds and a canteen was built on the site of the former loggia. The buildings were also used as a P.O.W camp. The building was acquired by Nottingham City Council in 1949 and has seen service as a school meals canteen and as an annexe to Haywood School.
