Spion Kop, Nottinghamshire

Spion Kop is a small residential and former industrial area in Nottinghamshire, England, stretching for a few hundred metres on both sides of the main A60 road surrounded by open farmland.

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.

The one residential side-street adjoining the main A60 road formerly known as George Street has been renamed Mosscar Close.

[2] A modern, large-scale mixed-residential development has been built on the extensive site of the old Wood Brothers timber business on Mansfield Road following a successful planning application to Mansfield District Council in 2011.
