Welcome to Sutton Beauty & Heritage!
A photographic appreciation of Sutton in St.Helens

FOR ST.HELENS FESTIVAL 2009 PROGRAMME OF
EVENTS
This website is an appreciation of the natural and architectural beauty which can be found in the Sutton district of the town of St.Helens, located midway between the English cities of Liverpool and Manchester. It's also a pictorial study of the heritage of the former Sutton Township.
Historically, the former Sutton Township 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.
Sutton Beauty & Heritage's Guide to Sutton in St.Helens (Flash needed)
This website was established in November 2006 as Sutton
Beauty
focusing on the present day in Sutton, St.Helens with some
contextual information on the historic development of each
featured site. However, the vast majority of emails we've
received since we launched demonstrated considerable
interest in the history of Sutton. So as of July 2008 we've
relaunched as Sutton Beauty & Heritage with a strong
focus on the the area's heritage as well as retaining our
original ethos of celebrating the present.
As well as natural beauty in places such as
Sutton Mill
Dam,
Sherdley
Park
and the
Clock
Face Country Park,
we also showcase architectural beauty in
Sutton’s
churches
and
bridges
and profile the
brooks
that feed the Sankey Canal. There is a dedicated page for
each site which examines its history and development,
illustrated by images showing them as they are now.
Clicking on each picture creates a larger view and we also
provide large-size images displayed within captioned
photo-albums, plus a six minute
video
of Sutton Mill Dam.
Our 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.
We also have a Sutton
What's On
Guide
which is updated daily with events information. If you have
an event that you'd like promoting, do
send us
your details and pictures.
Sutton
Beauty & Heritage
is an evolving resource which is very regularly updated
with new images and information. We are
PERMANENTLY
under construction!!!!! So please do call back
and
contact us
if you spot any errors or omissions. Thank
you!
