Clumber Park, c1880. View of Clumber Park near Worksop in Nottinghamshire, once part of Nottinghamshire's famed 'Dukeries'. It was originally a monatery, and later home to the Dukes of Newcastle. It was rebuilt in the 18th century, but seriously damaged by a fire in 1879. Clumber was abandoned, and finally demolished in 1938. The park was used as an ammunitions dump during the Second World War.
