With Redhill behind them, pedestrians walking uphill along the side of the A60 (i.e. the Nottingham-Mansfield Road) may notice this set of redundant steps. In bygone days they provided workers on foot, coming from Redhill, easier access to the former industrial site at the top of the steps. The main (gated) entrance to this now levelled "Works" site is situated a minute's walk further uphill. The final residential street in Redhill, i.e. Lodge Close, is situated 100 yds downhill, to the left of this picture.

Now merely a pile of rubble.

The main entrance to a former industrial site off the A60 (the Mansfield-Nottingham Road). This levelled site is situated on the approach into Redhill from the Mansfield/Ollerton direction. The first residential street in Redhill, i.e. Lodge Close, is situated on the right just past this entrance. The Ram Inn, a prominent local landmark (built in 1789) is visible ahead, on the left.

Cul-de-sac off the A60 Mansfield Road at Redhill.

This is the view of Redhill that motorists first see having descended the A60 from the Mansfield direction, i.e. down Arch Hill, with Lodge Close, the first residential street on the right immediately beyond the wind-battered wooden fence. On the left are two well-established pubs, The Waggon & Horses - nearest to the camera - and The Ram Inn. An old farm house at the foot of Red Hill is said to have been a post house where horses could be changed and guides hired by travellers for the journey through Sherwood Forest on the London-York route. Later on it became a coaching inn named The Waggon & Horses.

Part of the Lodge Farm estate of the 1980s.

This private drive off the ascending Nottingham-Mansfield Road provides one means of access to a small cluster of private houses situated on the west side of the road bridge ahead, that carries traffic over the A60.

Springtime afternoon by the Mansfield Road.

The Waggon & Horses - nearest to the camera - dates from 1827, whilst The Ram Inn is thought to have been established in 1789. It seems that The Waggon and Horses started life as a farm house at the foot of Red Hill, where it is said horses could be changed and guides hired by travellers for the journey through Sherwood Forest on the London-York route. Later on it became a coaching inn. A footpath linking the main road with Lodge Farm Lane behind The Ram Inn runs along the side of "The Ram" behind the more distant telegraph pole.

Developed from a farm lane into housing in the 1980s.
