Bridleway to Sutton

This bridleway leads past some old gravel workings on its way to Sutton Crossroads. This view should changed rapidly since the plantation behind the fence will quickly mature.

Tarmac Topcon precast concrete factory.

Quite a surprise to find such a large factory in this small village, but then again maybe not when you consider the amount of sand and gravel around.

Alongside Broom Wood

Broom Wood is a plantation of Corsican pine. The new planting to the north of the bridleway is of a more mixed nature.

Broad Gores, Clarborough

Bassetlaw District Council-owned 3.44 hectare site. Since the 1970s and the building of housing on Broad Gores, Southview Drive and St John's Drive, the council has owned this land between the northern and southern ends of Broad Gores. It has gone through various stages of full and partial agricultural use, and is currently regarded as wasteland. The parish council has consulted on possible future uses for it such as housing, allotments, and other leisure purposes.
