Spion Kop, Nottinghamshire
Spion Kop is a small residential and former industrial area in Nottinghamshire, England stretching for a few hundred yards on both sides of the main A60 road surrounded by open farmland.
It is located about a mile to the south of Warsop on the A60, Mansfield Road. It is a settlement built and named after the Battle of Spion Kop which took place during the Second Boer War in Natal, South Africa in January 1900.〔(Warsop Web ) Retrieved 2014-08-27〕 A major military figure in the conflict was John Talbot Coke, grandson of D'Ewes Coke, born at Mansfield Woodhouse, a well-known Nottinghamshire industrialist and clergyman. At Mansfield Woodhouse there was a ''Coke Street'', renamed as ''Newhaven Avenue''.
The one residential side-street adjoining the main A60 road formerly known as ''George Street'' has been renamed as ''Mosscar Close''.〔(Warsop Web ) Retrieved 2014-08-27〕
A modern, large-scale mixed-residential development has occurred on the extensive site of the old ''Wood Brothers'' (Wood Bros) timber business on Mansfield Road following a successful planning application to Mansfield District Council in 2011.〔(Mansfield District Council, planning permission for 40 bedroom care home and 58 dwellings, August 2011 ) Retrieved 2014-08-27〕
