Woodland Park View, Mansfield, Notts.
This new-build development of 17 houses, seen from Quarry Lane Local Nature Reserve, is almost complete. It is being marketed commercially as "Heritage Park". The principal road into the estate has been named Woodland Park View. The entrance - ahead - is on Quarry Lane. In former times this area boasted allotments.

Sheepbridge Lane, Mansfield, Notts.
Some older maps indicate that this area was once given over to allotments. Another marks a pub on this corner. Now however, a new-build housing development is almost complete on a site currently known as "Heritage Park". The entrance to this new estate of 17 houses, on Quarry Lane - to the right - has been named Woodland Park View.

Sheepbridge Lane, Mansfield, Notts.
Cinderella Steps linking Sheepbridge Lane and Cinderella Walk, i.e. behind the photographer. Since there is no pavement at the foot of the steps, descending onto the road seems potentially dangerous. The section of Cinderella Walk in question passes behind the new "Heritage Park" housing development and leads towards what is now the Portland Retail Park on the edge of the town centre. This ancient unmade path is known locally as Cinderella Walk, perhaps because of past associations with burnt fuel residue, i.e. cinders.

Sheepbridge Lane, Mansfield, Notts.
A set of steps linking Sheepbridge Lane (below) and a section of Cinderella Walk. Since there is no pavement below, descending onto the road seems potentially dangerous. The footbridge on the left crosses that road. A section of Cinderella Walk, to the photographer's immediate right, passes behind the new "Heritage Park" housing development and leads towards what is now the Portland Retail Park on the edge of the town centre. This centuries-old path, is known locally as Cinderella Walk, perhaps because of past associations with burnt fuel residue, i.e. cinders. 400-500 metres along this path there is also the option to make a right-hand turn and thereby to access Quarry Lane Nature Reserve and the River Maun.

Bleak Hill Sidings, Sheepbridge Lane, Mansfield, Notts.
A 150 metre stroll up a gently sloping service road (a track), off the left-hand side of Sheepbridge Lane (marked by the entrance gates into the premises of ICS Waste Management plc.) leads to this footbridge that crosses Sheepbridge Lane. The footpath ahead passes behind the new "Heritage Park" housing development. It is part of a centuries old unmade path leading towards what is now the Portland Retail Park near to the town centre. The path is known locally as Cinderella Walk, perhaps because of past associations with burnt fuel residue, i.e. cinders. 400-500 metres along this path there is also the option to make a right-hand turn and thereby to access Quarry Lane Nature Reserve and the River Maun.

Cinderella's Steps
These steps, cut out of the rock, give access from road level to the footpath (called Cinderella's Walk) which crosses Sheepbridge Lane on the footbridge. They are also known locally as The 39 Steps. There are actually only 37 of them now - maybe some of the bottom ones have been swallowed up by improvements to the road surface.
