Ian, if that photo was taken in 1964 it must have been shortly before the line was closed under the Beeching axe. I used to catch my local bus near the station and it has not had a roof for many a year. The Great Central station in Mansfield always fascinated me as a kid as you used to have to climb stairs to get up to the platforms as the track bed was on an embankment that took it over the bridge on Ratcliffe Gate the old A617 to Newark Here is a very clever image by Neil Pledger a heritage photographer part of his excellent Footprints of Mansfield series where he superimposes old images over the modern day streetscapes Here is a link to his website http://www.briefreport.co.uk/news/footprints-of-mansfield-2592851.html  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Ian there was a Railway Hotel in Kirkby on Urban Road, Alas long gone, now an Aldi Great memories in those pictures, I had my first Sunday lunchtime pint in the Staff after attending a St John's First Aid training course as an apprentice. Â It was on the corner of Church St and West End, if I remember correctly the Rifleman was on Low Street 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Wasn't the pub at Sutton Junction called The Railway, just over the level crossing on the road to Sutton? Used to have a drink in there with Father in Law though switched allegiance to The Cardinal when that opened about 1966(?), but Sunday lunchtime was usually at The Rushley. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,326 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Commo, The pub near the railway crossing on Newark Rd is called The Junction, it was previously called the Cardinal. However, there used to be a Railway Inn on High Pavement but I think it is a Chinese restaurant now. Remember the Rushley well it was two pints and a pie or pasty during lunch time when as an apprentice I was on day release at West Notts Tech just up the road. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,326 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 No Ian, I went to the Tech at the Junction of Nottingham Rd and Derby Rd opposite the Crematorium and Cemetery, just up from The Rushley Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,326 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I finished there in 1972, we did one full day 9:00am to 9:00pm and then two nights 6:00 to 9:00pm for 4 years, a 6 year course compressed into 4 years. I used to enjoy technical drawing, I was particularly good at developing shapes for sheet metal working and calculating stress, strain and redundancy is support structures, like many things, never used them since.

Commo 1,292 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Oz, The Cardinal was, at the time about 1966, a newly built pub whereas the one just beyond the level crossing, a Mansfield house, was frequented by us before Cardinal was built. Before we were married, Mrs C lived at Sutton Junction so these were our locals, Cardinal originally being more "up market" not what it became later. Mrs C went to Derby Road Tech for her secretarial course, leaving in 1963 and started work in Nottingham where we met, getting wed In 1968. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,326 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Commo, The only pub I can remember near there was the Cart Horse Inn, now the Scruffy Dog on the other side of the crossing on Station Road 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,326 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Ian, In the 60's and 70's the Blue Bell on Mansfield Rd was my favourite pub in Sutton in Ashfield for the following reasons. It was then a Mansfield house, it was not far from work and it had a bar billiards table something you don't see in many pubs today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Oz, thanks for that, The Cart Horse it was! (Or was it the Horse and Cart ?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Think I've put my mind to rest on this, it was The Cart and Horse. From the photos of the place (as Oz informed it's now The Scruffy Dog) it's certainly changed from the local it was when we frequented it, then again haven't they all?
