Mansfield, Notts

This red-brick building on Nottingham Road is attributed to the well-known Nottingham architect, Watson Fothergill and is described on the British Listed Buildings website as a "Former cattle market building and attached gates, dated 1877". A gardener working in the adjacent Titchfield Park described it as having once housed "The Cattle Market Tavern". Until 1877 the cattle market was originally held on Westgate, around the old market cross, after which this new purpose-built cattle market was opened. Although these premises still bear signs advertising it as the home of "Lamb's Restaurant", it is currently standing empty and unused. Behind this post-1877 market property is a plot of land that now houses the "Water Meadows Swimming Pool and Leisure Complex".
