Mansfield
Named after Mansfield floor mill owner Daniel Drury. Carried a spur of the Midland Railway’s Southwell-Mansfield line over the Maun Valley between Mansfield East and South junctions. Opened to traffic in 1871.
Nine segmental masonry arches, while a single cast-iron skew span having four rib arches with pierced spandrels crosses Quarry Lane.
Te viaduct continued to carry coal traffic from Rufford Colliery until December 1983. It was restored in 1989 and now forms part of the town's network of footpaths.
