Hi A couple of friends and I who used to work for WB on Victoria Street Mansfield were trying to locate the "New" cabinet works In Mansfield Notts which I think was sold in the 70s does any one out there know its address of where it is/was?

Regards

Hi Mike Sadly no but thank you for looking We know where the Old Cabinet Works was and of course the Victoria Street buildings. But Whiteley's built a new Cabinet Works somewhere the other side of the railway. in about 1970 and I think? It may have been sold fairly soon after it was completed and we were trying to locate where it is/was.
We have been Trying to get people interested in telling their reminiscences from working there.
Kind regards and thanks again
Kev
