Saint Peter's Church, Mansfield
The parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Mansfield town centre. Constructed and modified during a period of several hundred years, parts of the building date from Norman times, mostly it is somewhat more recent. The two small narrow windows in the lower part of the church tower are a Norman feature, there is also a typically Norman rounded arch in the doorway (not visible here).

Recreation Road Vicinity, Mansfield, Notts.
BMA Ltd of Tuxford, Newark are in the process of building 14 residential properties on a plot of land sandwiched between the rear gardens (or backyards) of the existing terraced houses on Recreation Road and the tower in the distance. St Peter's Way (i.e. the A60/A6006) passes between the tower - situated in a former quarry known as Rock Valley - and one side of a natural rock embankment 75 metres behind this new house. The entrance to this small new-build development will be behind where the photographer was standing. The domed clocktower is the only structure remaining on the former Metal Box Company factory site in the former quarry in question.

Rock Valley
This photo shows the rock formation which gives Rock Valley its name. This view was hidden for over a hundred years by the Barringer, Wallis and Manners (later Metal Box) works. No doubt it will disappear again when the site (which is now up for sale) is redeveloped.

Metal Box Clock Tower, Mansfield
The clock tower belonged to the old Metal Box factory in Rock Valley which was demolished in 2011. After a campaign, the decision was taken to preserve the old tower and incorporate it into future developments. At the moment, however, it stands forlorn by St Peter's Way. For a view of how things were see:
