Station Road, MANSFIELD, NG18 1LP

Dates from about 1820. It predates the railway but the arrival of the railway precipitated its change from a house to a hotel. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1288143

Appearing to be a classic railway hotel, adjacent to the railway station, it started life as a private residence in c.1820, not being converted to a hotel until c.1870. Listed Grade II.

As seen from the Walkden Street multi-storey car park. The hotel is the white building in the centre of the photo. The railway station can just be seen to the right of the hotel. The hotel is named after the railway company that built the station (the Midland Railway Company).

This is the oldest part of The Midland Hotel. It was built in 1805 as an lunatic asylum for men and had high walls around it. It was known as Broom House until The Midland Railway Company purchased it in 1862 and converted it into a hotel. The hotel yard served as a venue for auctions, including for the sale of horses. There is a large modern extension to the photographer's right and as a result of this, the establishment now serves as a function venue and public house. Behind the tall "Mansfield Station" sign are modern premises housing the local probation service offices, whilst on the left is the booking office entrance to the railway station.

The Midland Hotel was built in 1805 as an lunatic asylum for men and it had high walls around it. It was known as Broom House until The Midland Railway Company purchased it in 1862 and converted it into a hotel. It is now a function venue and public house. The red car is facing in the direction of the new bus station 100 metres ahead of it. The entrance into the station, via its booking office, is behind the photographer. In the distance is The Rosemary Centre, a shopping centre, that was originally "Lawn Mills". This mill prepared cotton that was then sent for weaving in Lancashire, which is the damper. The mill was owned by the Cash family.

Bus passengers looking out from the glass-walled waiting areas of the new bus station can't help but notice The Midland Hotel. It was built in 1805 as an lunatic asylum for men with high walls around it. It was known as Broom House until The Midland Railway Company purchased it in 1862 and when it converted it into a hotel. It is now a function venue and public house. The railway station's main entrance and booking office lies behind it, as does the busy A6009.

The entrance into an enclosed, raised walkway that connects the railway station and the bus station is visible behind the nearest lamp-post. This is used to convey passengers over the tops of buses in the manoeuvring area below it. Passengers also have the option to descend this ramp into Quaker Way that runs parallel with the front of the bus station.

There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6248515 on the retaining wall on the left.

Built by the Midland Railway in 1872 in Classical style, Listed Grade II. Well restored as part of the reopening of the railway between Nottingham and Mansfield around 2000.

Officially named simply "Mansfield", this station is often referred to unofficially as "Mansfield Town" (particularly by train guards) to differentiate it from Mansfield Woodhouse (the next station north of here). This is even reflected in the station's CRS code: MFT.
