Police have asked drivers to avoid part of Mansfield after a fire broke out at a derelict mill. As many as 20 fire engines were called out to the fire which has ripped through Hermitage Mill in Hermitage Lane on the morning of Monday, March 28, resulting in travel disruption.
Hermitage Lane is closed in both directions due to the incident between the A38 Sutton Road and Hamilton Way. Drivers are being asked to plan alternate routes as Hermitage Lane, Sutton Road End and Hamilton Way are currently closed.
There has been no official diversion issued but to get onto Hamilton Road, past the cordon, drivers can follow the A38 Sutton Road to Kings Mill Road East, and then onto the A617 Sherwood Way South towards the section of Hamilton Road which is open. A longer route would be to get on Sheepbridge Lane, off the A38, before joining the A60 Nottingham Road and turning onto Sherwood Way South.
