I’ve lived in Sutton my whole life and I can tell you it’s shit. No more factory’s. Nothing but Turkish fkn barbers charity shops and takeaways. It’s a shit hole full of immigrants. Fact. Argue all you want. It’s a fact.

My dad was fireman at the time in Mablethorpe and went to butlins fire Skegness 1974

Must do that ,not done that trip for years .

The railway station on rosemary street and belvedere street was LMS not LNR...

Brilliant

Lived in Sutton, well Skegby actually, until 1970.

always and forever sutton

Adlington impressive kick explained it all.

Did you know that when Beeching cut the route from Worksop to Nottingham that many people in the town lost their jobs in Nottingham. And now? We have the Robin Hood line. Thank goodness for that, but I hope that Marples and Beeching rot in hell for what they did to the railways. It would be a good thing to get the Robin Hood route double track working for its entire length. It would save a lot of hassles, and enable a more efficient service to be provided.

The shot of the Austerity shows it entering Annesley Tunnel on the G.C. line. The higher, and shorter one, bored by the Midland Railway and resurrected for the Robin Hood line, is Kirkby Tunnel. Both cut through Robin Hood Hills.

My Dad, Gerry Boot, worked here as an electrician from the late 50s until it's closure

King street should have been filmed

Syd Booths, wow. Got my first tape recorder from there, was 7 and I've still got it. I'm 65 now

Oh for the old days. I grew up in Mansfield next to the stags ground. Spend my summers in titchfield Park. My mum would give me a new pair of plimpsoles at the beginning of the holidays every year. We had sweet FA. BUT HAPPY. We had sunshine back then. I live in Thailand now. I got my sunshine back.

When she became Olympic champion for the first time, I wanted to marry her. Watching from London.

Things rarely improve with so called "progress".

This does not look like Sutton, Surrey.

And I've been in idle wells many times

I've lived in sutton my whole life and I love it is such a nice place to live

double gold medalist and bronze medalist too. A fantastic achievement, so much dedication from all

my daddy came from Sutton in Ashfield...he was born in Skegby... he lived there from birth to when he was seventeen and joined the army...he never went back there to live...but never forgot his roots...he was the best Dad anyone could ever of wished for... I still miss him... for eternity..R. I. P. DAD...🌹🌹💐💐

Don't want to rain on anyone's parade but it should be mentioned that this was the Dave Mackay Team in this clip, not Clough and Taylor's. Great clip and thanks for uploading but this needs to be flagged up. C & T were famously different in their approach to European games compared to Mackay, and sadly I think they (Derby) thought they'd got this sewn up at the Baseball Ground. C & T's approach to the return leg in Madrid would have been so, so different. Charlie George famously signed for Derby though, because Dave Mackay was a big hero of his. Still a great team, but TOTALLY different in certain respects to Clough's.

Lived there 'til leaving for South Africa in 1964. Still miss it as I remember it.

I lived between the two stations near to the park where I spent many happy hours give me old Mansfield any day

Some great images. I grew up in Sutton-in-Ashfield, attending Forest Glade Infants and Junior schools. 3:40 - that's later than the 1970s. It's probably the mid to late 80s. There was a long-closed butcher's shop standing where the sand is - J Willey Family Butcher's - until about 1986. And to the right of the image an old house stood which was left to go derelict. The new houses seen under construction went up around the same time the butcher's shop was demolished, in the mid to late 80s.

Great video. Nice to see Sutton in Ashfield on KZbin. I like Sutton. Chip shop just off market place is the best in the county. Great open spaces. Lammas leisure centre is ace.

Lovely old pictures. The area has a proud history.

That’s Thorpe Culvert station not Wainfleet by the way.

I was born in Sutton. They built al of of houses with see through lounge.

What’s the first song till 22. E

Remember it as it was yesterday and putting British swimming on the world map.

Lived in Sutton until 1973 St James Ave

My great grandparents were born here, it's great to see pictures of their home town

💛💙💛💙

Wow thats my fave Thomson music. I love it

super .Done it myself, and some signal boxes to.

Worked at the site of Mansfield wood house when it was a street furniture lamppost firm called Hemcol ltd the stone building was the shot blaster area which then went to the spray painting area Glad the robin hood line was made possible remember the daily coal trains going up and down this line ... Fond memory's

No progress has been for the better has it.

that was fab so many memories. id love to see institute lane when the miami cafe was there. wud also love to know what year the cafe closed down??

Nice video. Not sure about back when central ran the route, but now, the services aren't terminated at Woodhouse if the worksop is late. At Woodhouse there is 1 train to worksop an hour and 2 to Nottingham.

Well put together

Thank you. Quite a while back a bloke I met here in Tokyo mentioned he was from Mansfield and said: "you've probably never heard of it" I told him I had and also Sutton too. He was flabbergasted I was posted to the region during the miners strike working for a French company. I still have very fond memories of the region. Thank you for posting this beautiful video it brought back some memories. have a great day and once again thanks

Good footage! How Sutton has changed, not for the better. Shame the old swimming baths then and now were not included, maybe next time. Well done for a good film!

fascinating, thank you

Viva Skeg Vegas

If there are any musicians out there that were their that year I would love to hear from you , ! Phill Bell

I spent the summer of 1976 at Skegness playing in a band , and the fire was in the first week of the season , I think ! But my drum kit was in the building that burnt down , and I was fortunate that a friend helped me get it out before it was burnt down , Some of the other musicians lost there instruments that night , I remember that they where all taken to a music shop in Leeds I think ,? And where supplied with new instruments, It was great season and another thing sticks out in my mind , Bernard Mannining was sacked from the Midnight Cabreret , because of his bad language , and Bob monk house took his place ! Great times , Love to hear from any one who was performing their that year ! Phill bell band ,

thought the d8 did alf to mansfield via blackwell and littlemoor lane etc

I have a 1930 Austin Seven Swallow saloon which was supplied new by Gaunt's Garage in Outram Street. I am trying to trace where in Outram Street the garage was and hopefully find a photo of it. Any help would be appreciated.

The C7 used to run from Alfreton to Mansfield VIA Blackwell, Newton (Littlemore Lane), Huthwaite and Sutton
