By the end of a 6 year project (2003-2009) this "Old Goods Yard” property had been converted into a six bedroom, three-storey house. It dates from the 1870s and was formerly used to store goods brought into the village on this route between Southwell Mansfield. Farnsfield Station was closed to passenger traffic in 1929 and to goods traffic in 1964, after which this building was no longer used and had been vandalised and gutted by fire. The Southwell Trail is accessible immediately behind the photographer, whereas Station Lane - leading into the village - is less than 2 minute's walk ahead, behind this house.
