West Hill Drive, Mansfield, Notts.
West Hill Drive (ahead) is seen from one of several building site entrances. Inside this fence work continues apace on a project to build new homes for over-55s on the former Mansfield General Hospital site. This now-demolished hospital began with five beds in the early C19th and boasted 108 beds by 1890. Eric Sykes, the comedian, opened the last ward extension in 1950, a wing containing 60 beds. The hospital finally closed its doors in 1992, once the new King's Mill Hospital was opened, after which time it stood empty for over 20 years. West Hill Drive empties out - in both directions - into Chesterfield Road South (i.e. the A6009).

Former Hospital, Mansfield, Notts.
This hospital on West Hill Drive started with five beds in the early C19th and was known as The Mansfield General Hospital. By 1890 it boasted 108 beds. Finally, Eric Sykes, the comedian, opened the last ward extension in 1950, a wing containing 60 beds. The hospital closed its doors in 1992, after King's Mill Hospital opened and it has now stood empty and uncared for over 20 years. Recently however, the Council have announced plans to build housing on the site. The other side of the road is already occupied by private housing.

Inner Ring Road (A6009/A6191), Mansfield
The A6191 runs for 5 miles between Mansfield and Rainworth. It follows what was originally the route of the A617 through Mansfield. The road was redesignated to A6191 after the completion of the MARR (Mansfield Ashfield Regeneration Route) to the south of the town, which took over the A617 number in 2004. Just before reaching the town centre, the A6191 mutiplexes with the A6009, otherwise known as the Inner Ring Road.
The A6009 is a circular route, avoiding the main business district of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. It has a 40 mph limit throughout, and is a mixture of single and dual carriageway road. It should not be confused with "The Mansfield Circuit", which is a one way system that lies inside the Inner Ring Road.
