Farnsfield Junction
The Southwell Trail follows former railway lines. At Farnsfield there was a junction which the Southwell Trail reproduces. In the picture the lefthand fork follows the course of the Rolleston Junction - Mansfield line which here opened in 1871, closed to passengers in 1929 and to all traffic in 1965. The righthand fork follows the course of the former LMS/LNER Joint railway from Farnsfield Junction to Ollerton. The line opened in 1931 and this section closed in 1963. It was purely a mineral railway serving two collieries and never carried passenger traffic.

Junction of railway paths
Near the site of the old Farnsfield Station on the Mansfield, Southwell and Rolleston Junction Railway, built in 1847, closed to passengers in 1959 and wholly in 1964. Behind and straight ahead, the trackbed has been converted into a trail for walkers, cyclists and horseriders known as the Southwell Trail, which runs through from Southwell. To the right is a branch which ran to Ollerton (opened 1931) which has also been converted into a trail.

Mansfield Road, Farnsfield, Notts.
This Grade II-listed village lock-up on the east side of Mansfield Road was completed on 1 August 1850. Lock-ups originated during the C18th when rural communities struggled to deal with thefts, burglaries, shootings, drunkenness, the obstruction of watchmen and the theft of livestock. They were intended to be temporary places of detention until rogues and miscreants could be removed to a town. This one is occasionally open to the public on annual "Scarecrow Days" held in the village. Temporary holding facilities like this became redundant after the 1893 County Police Act made police stations with secure cells compulsory. A public footpath on the right climbs up a slope to the local cricket ground.
