Larch Farm Crossroads, Ravenshead, Notts
This former farm, now a public house and restaurant with bed & breakfast facilities is shown on ancient maps held at nearby Newstead Abbey to have been here since at least 1825. This is a view from the junction of the A60(the Nottingham to Mansfield road) and the B6020 (Kirkby-in-Ashfield to Blidworth road), with the Kirkby-in-Ashfield section lying behind the photographer. The vehicles are on the A60 are facing in the Nottingham direction. Until 1785 however, it seems that the main highway between Nottingham and Mansfield passed through Papplewick and Newstead Abbey rejoining the present route on the north side of Larch Farm. The former route, known as The King’s Way, passed through Thieves Wood - formerly part of the Royal Wood of Lyndhurst - and it is posited that it was the all too frequent fate of unfortunate travellers that gave the wood its name.

Larch Farm Crossroads, Ravenshead, Notts
This former farm, now a public house and restaurant with bed & breakfast facilities is shown on ancient maps that are held at nearby Newstead Abbey to have been here since at least 1825. This is a view of the B6020 (Kirkby-in-Ashfield to Blidworth road) as it joins the A60 (Nottingham to Mansfield road), with Blidworth lying several miles back behind the photographer. The car ahead is travelling in the Mansfield direction. Until 1785 however, it seems that the main highway between Nottingham and Mansfield passed through Papplewick and Newstead Abbey, rejoining its present route on the other side of Larch Farm, i.e. to the north of it. The former route, known as The King’s Way, passed through Thieves Wood - part of the Royal Wood of Lyndhurst - and it is posited that it was the all too frequent fate of unfortunate travellers that gave this wood its name.

Junction A60 Mansfield Road and Ricket Lane
Someone cares about the tree on the right; it's kept very neat and tidy. The tree, which is a hawthorn, is known as "The Table Top Tree" and it was well established as far back as 1958.
