Dominated by the back of the Nottinghamshire County Council offices.

Some of the buildings have been converted for further use, but much is still awaiting redevelopment.

A discovery centre called "Making It" is now housed here in the former home of the Mansfield Brewery Company on this section of Littleworth, at its junction with Bath Street. It was constructed in 1855 on land that was once a part of the North Notts Coalfield although an additional site was opened later - elsewhere in the town - due to the need for larger and more modern premises. As a consequence of this, this site was closed in the late 70s. The main beer brewed here was Mansfield Bitter. In 1999, after the company was taken over by Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries (now Marstons), the production of Mansfield Bitter was transferred to Wolverhampton. The water used there however, led to the production of a very different tasting beer and one that "Mansfield" drinkers weren't happy with, thus the demand for Mansfield bitter fell drastically, at least in its home town.

Not much changes in the last six years Image While around it the works buildings have gone.

The River Maun disappearing under the bridge that carries Brunt Street over it to join Weighbridge Road. The building on the left, situated on Littleworth, is an extension that was added later (date ?) to the original Mansfield brewery building that was built in 1885 that faces Bath Street.

Once a thriving and expanding company, Mansfield Brewery is here shown being dismantled. The controversial decision was made to sell the company to one of its rivals, who promptly closed it down. The company started brewing in 1855 and was closed at the end of 2001.
