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.
