21. Forest Folk
This Blidworth pub on Mansfield Road is steeped in history. It was built in 1926 but closed in 2004. The pub was named after author James Prior Kirk, who wrote 'Forest Folk'. Photo: Chad
23. Town Mill
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. It was a firm favourite with locals until it closed its doors. Photo: Chad
