Ratcliffe Gate, Mansfield
Image: © Stephen McKay Taken: 23 Jul 2016
A substantial area of yellow hatching marks the junction between Ratcliffe Gate (A6191), Great Central Road (leading off to the right in the foreground), and Newgate Lane (opposite). The 'Great Central Road' name is a reminder of Mansfield's largely forgotten 'other' railway that passed over Ratcliffe Gate here; it was closed completely in 1966 and little trace now remains.
