A view of Field Mill Dam from Quarry Lane Nature Reserve. Field Mill, a.k.a. Greenhalgh's Mill, was demolished in 1924. It had a waterwheel 40ft in diameter, one of the biggest in England. Ernest “Harwood” Greenhalgh (1849-1922) was an English footballer who played for England as a full back. In 1833, after retiring from playing, Greenhalgh continued to play an important part in the development of English football, helping to found Greenhalgh's F.C. in Mansfield. He was also one-time owner of Field Mill.
