On your Mansfield Chad Facebook page – www.fb.com/MansfieldChad – we asked readers which buildings should be restored or demolished this year.
Here is what readers had to say…
![The Town Mill was on Bridge Street, Mansfield, and dates back to 1850 when it began life as a water-powered corn mill, before eventually becoming a pub from 1969 to 2010.

AJ Walker would like to see the building turned into a eco mill to provide electricity to the town centre and surrounding areas.](https://www.chad.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjdmMjQ3ZWQ5LWUwNGUtNDRhZi1hYzE0LWVlZDRmYzMwYzEzNjoxMmFhMjk1NC04NDRiLTRhYTctOTFjZC0xYjQyZTIwY2Q3NWU=.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
