Mansfield bus station serves the town of Mansfield, in Nottinghamshire, England. Nottinghamshire County Council decided to relocate the town's former 1970s bus station nearer to the railway station, after the Robin Hood Line passenger service was re-established in 1995. The primary bus operators are Stagecoach in Mansfield, Trent Barton and National Express.
History The former Quaker Meeting House was located on part of the site of the new bus station. George Fox, the founder of the Quakers in 1647, lived in a cottage at the site of St Philip Neri Church on Chesterfield Road. It was at this time he started his ministry. The Mansfield Quaker Heritage Trail starts from the bus station, and leads to different sites in and around the town centre.Hunt. J. and Co. (1973). The History of the Quakers in Mansfield.
