One of the region’s most popular open spaces is Quarry Lane Nature Reserve on Quarry Lane, Mansfield.
We’ve taken a look in our archive and found some images from 2016 when a new picnic area was first opened to the publuc.
Quarry Lane was designated as a Local Nature Reserve in 2004 because of its importance to wildlife and the community.
Do you recognise anyone in these images?
