Maun View, MANSFIELD, NG18 1NL

A group of late 17th century houses with stable and cart-shed, Listed Grade II. Currently unoccupied although refurbishment appears to have been undertaken in the late 20th or early 21st century. This is the rear of the building alongside the River Maun.

Ahead, having emerged from beneath The Bridge Inn, the River Maun continues its journey northwards. The footpath behind the ornamental railings is part of the Maun Valley Trail. "Rock Court", on the right, is now a residential complex. It was built in the C17th (perhaps as a mill or mill warehouse?) but in 1863 was converted in Maltby's Academy, a private school for boys. It was run by three generations of the Maltby family until 1887. Behind the houses on the left is a road called Rock Valley, an area that once housed the Metal Box Company factory.

Hesitating on the steep flight of steps that carry the Maun Valley Trail path northwards up onto a road called Rock Court, I took this photograph as I looked back towards the Bridge Inn and the Parish Church area.

North of Bridge Street.

The view from the Methodist Church's upper level car park. A footpath at the side of the Bridge Inn is visible that forms part of the Maun Valley Trail. Rehearsals were occurring in the pub car park on the day that the photograph was taken for part of the outdoor play that formed the penultimate feature of the 2012 Mansfield Cultural Festival. Beyond the prefabricated garage and the blue-painted gates of a shop's storage area the Grade II-listed late 17th century building with the tall chimneys is St Peter's House. Formerly a private house and then a bank, it is now occupied by a firm of solicitors. The tower and spire of the Grade I-listed Parish Church in Church Street is also visible, its tower dating from 1603 and its spire from 1699.

The south side of a railway bridge looking towards the town centre section of Toothill Lane in the town centre. The bridge carries the Robin Hood Line railway service between Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse.

Opposite the Stanhope Hall - that is located above a parade of shops on Bridge Street - is The Bridge Tavern, adjacent to the River Maun (from whence the name Mansfield is derived). From here, amongst other points, the Maun Valley Trail can be accessed by walkers.
