Thanks everyone, posts and photos on picture the past very interesting. I'll do some more digging and see what I can find.

Thanks for the welcome and the quick response. My grandfather Mark Sills lived 1866 to 1921 so could not have been involved in the original construction. Maybe he was involved when it was altered later. He was a bricklayer and later owned a building firm. He built houses in Bulwell too (where many of my family originate from). I need to check with my Mum but I think he built Farley Street where several of my relatives then moved into. the only picture I have of him is with his builders posing outside houses he had built (I will upload it when I get a chance). thanks

Hi everyone, just joined and interested if anyone knows anything about the long tall wall along Mansfield road, red hill. apparently it was built by my great grandfather mark sills of bulwell. Does anyone know when it was built and any more details? Many thanks
