Welcome to Sutton Beauty & Heritage!
A photographic celebration of Sutton in St.Helens
Sutton Quote of the Week:
St.Helens Reporter, August 12th, 1930 - {courtesy St.Helens Local History & Archives Library}
(Note: 'Sutton Quote of the Week' is changed on this page every Sunday morning)
Historically, Sutton has been a Lancastrian centre of mining and industry. However as traditional ways of earning a living have ended, so the landscape of the area has changed with areas of natural beauty now flourishing. Sutton is going through a period of regeneration and Sutton Beauty & Heritage is a long-term project intended to document its renewal.

This website was established in November 2006 as 'Sutton
Beauty',
focusing on the present day in Sutton, St.Helens with
some contextual background on the historical development
of each featured site. However, the majority of emails
that I've received since launching have demonstrated much
interest in the history of Sutton and Clock Face. So in
July 2008, the site was relaunched as 'Sutton Beauty
& Heritage' with a much stronger focus on the
heritage of the Sutton district, as well as retaining the
original ethos of celebrating the present.
As
I write event listings professionally, I also include a
Sutton
What's On
Guide
which is updated almost daily with events details. If you
have an event that you'd like promoting (there's no
charge), do
send me
your details and any photographs and I'll be happy to
oblige. Sutton Beauty & Heritage
is an evolving resource which is very regularly updated
with new images and information and is permanently under
construction. No page is ever completed - it's simply
waiting to be updated!
The references to Sutton in St.Helens, incidentally,
include
Sutton Heath, Sutton Manor, Sutton Oak and Sutton Leach
and extends to Marshalls Cross, Four Acre, Clock Face,
Lea Green and Bold Heath. Essentially greater Sutton
within south St.Helens.
