Description: | At the centre of Mansfield's Market Place is the Bentinck Memorial which was built in 1849 in memory of Lord George Bentinck, the younger son of the fourth Duke of Portland, at a cost of £1500. It was designed by Hine. Bentinck was an MP for many years and well known for his friendship with Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. The space left in the middle for a statue was never filled because of lack of funds.
The 1752 Moot Hall can be seen to the right. The absence of market stalls suggests a Sunday or holiday.
This is one of the oldest photographs in the Mansfield local studies collections. | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | North East Midland Photographic Record | Subjects: | select Please | Source: | Picture the Past OAI feed | Creator: | Adlington, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/fronten... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | Go to resource |
