This cluster of houses occupy a corner site between West Hill Drive on the right and West Hill Avenue on the left. The wooden structure with the pitched roof at the closed end of West Hill Avenue is a probably the only structure still standing on the site of the town's former general hospital behind it. The hospital has been demolished and the council are currently taking public soundings about its plans to build 30-50 residential units for elderly people. Perhaps the wooden structure has been left for use as a shelter for the building contractors who will come onto the site shortly, or could it become a garden shelter for the future residents?

Chesterfield Road South (the A6009) at the foot of this picture becomes St Peter's Way (also the A6009) as it curves away to the left. An entrance or exit point into - or out of - Westgate (one of the town's main, pedestrianised shopping streets) is situated behind the white van. The Chesterfield Road campus building of the West Notts College - dating from 1928 - stands proudly on the left. This site provides facilities and educational opportunities for students studying fashion, art & design, and graphic design. It is also the college's ESOL (English For Speakers of Other Languages) base.

This is the former East Midland Motor Services bus garage, probably relinquished some time in the 1990s.

Late 19th century commercial development, dated 1880 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6256641 .

Interior view showing wide fireplace with bressumer and main joists, probably from the original 17th century building. The current occupier said it had been a smithy, but this seems unlikely, and is probably based on the fireplace. This however is typically domestic of the period.

Attractive Georgian town house, c.1780, with 19th century additions. Listed Grade II, the Listing includes the garden walls and railings.

The A6191 runs for 5 miles between Mansfield and Rainworth. It follows what was originally the route of the A617 through Mansfield. The road was redesignated to A6191 after the completion of the MARR (Mansfield Ashfield Regeneration Route) to the south of the town, which took over the A617 number in 2004. Just before reaching the town centre, the A6191 mutiplexes with the A6009, otherwise known as the Inner Ring Road. The A6009 is a circular route, avoiding the main business district of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. It has a 40 mph limit throughout, and is a mixture of single and dual carriageway road. It should not be confused with "The Mansfield Circuit", which is a one way system that lies inside the Inner Ring Road.
