A view along Pelham Street from the footbridge that carries users from Rock Valley, over the St Peter's Way dual carriageway (i.e. the A60/A6006). During the early part of the C19th Mansfield’s "lock-up" was at the Pelham Street end of Elm Tree Yard. Detainees were confined there until the magistrate’s next courthouse session elsewhere in the town. If convicted, prisoners were then marched to the local prison in Southwell some 5 miles away. On 7 April 1952 a new Telephone Exchange was officially opened in Pelham Street by the Mayor, Mr. German Abbott. At present the street seems to be host to both residential properties and commercial premises. The Recreation Street junction can be seen on the left and the Elm Tree Street one to the right.
