More about this scene

Mansfield lies some 14 miles north of Nottingham and to the west of Sherwood Forest. It is a town with sprawling suburbs and a centre marred by ring roads and the enormous Four Seasons Shopping Centre (1972-76), which demolished much of the northern part of the old town. However, there are good parts surviving on its hilly site, and the Market Place is thriving. This view was taken from beside the Town Hall of 1836, looking north to the corner of Westgate.

I was sixteen and my brother did the food for the Queen and all the MPs he got to meet her! I got so close I could touch her - it was the most fantastic day - followed by street parties that seemed to last forever.
