New houses on Berry Hill Sand Quarry site
Much of Mansfield is built on sandstone. It has been quarried for many years and used for moulds in ironfounding. Together with locally available coal this was the basis of several former ironfoundries in the town. This quarry, now closed is being used for new housing.
In the 1960s I remember walking here, along a public footpath through a field of wheat or barley, before the quarrying dug so deeply.

Sandhurst Avenue, Mansfield, Notts.
Detail of the 'Dutch Cape' style entrance into the Mansfield Sand Company's combined gatekeeper's lodge and office. The date of construction and who the architect was are unknown at present. The houses in the distance, i.e. on the other side of the quarry seem likely to be situated on Berry Hill Road.

The entrance to the Mansfield Sand Company's premises (formerly Gregory's Quarry ?) at the Berry Hill Lane end of Sandhurst Avenue. This is a view of the combined gatekeeper's lodge and office. Sand from this quarry was reputed to be the finest in the UK and was used extensively in both local foundries and those further afield.
