The Oval was situated on a road called The Oval (because it was shaped like an oval) It was an estate pub in the middle of the Carsic council estate. No build date, but it did not show on any of the publicly accessible OS maps up to 1960. The council estate was still in the process of being built at the time, but the pub did exist in 1975, when the Mansfield Brewery applied for planning permission to "make alterations to the Oval PH". The last application on the planning portal is dated 1991 when they wanted permission to add a satellite dish. On Google street view, the 2009 timeline image shows the pub in the process of being demolished. In December 2009 East Midlands Housing Association applied for planning permission to build low cost housing on the site of the "former Oval Public House". (planning ref V/2009/0632) At that time, Marston's Pubs Ltd was listed on the "ownership certificate". (I don't know if that means Marston's still owned the land?) I think Marston's took over the Mansfield brand, rather than the pub being branded Marstons.
