If you are over 40 and live in Mansfield, you might have fond memories of these forgotten pastimes.
From pick’n’mix at Woolworth’s to playing in the River Maun after school, times were much simpler then.
They just don’t make them like they used to...

Nothing like a paddle in the River Maun when you were a kid - a pastime that has all but disappeared now due to increased health and safety concerns. Photo: m
6. Gone down a pit
I mean, it's probably not the most fun activity on the list - but many have fond memories of their time down the pits in Mansfield. Photo: m
7. Bought an Alvin Stardust LP
Were you even from Mansfield if you didn't own an LP from this glamrock superstar? The town had a few great record shops to choose from. Photo: m
8. Go shopping in Beales department store
It only closed a few years ago, but Beales will always be missed. The store closed in Mansfield in 2020 after the firm collapsed. Photo: m
