Sutton Beauty in Sutton, St.Helens
Welcome to Sutton Beauty ! This website is a photographic 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.
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 is a long-term project intended to document its renewal.

Dam, Clock Face Country Park,
Sutton Park, Sutton Oak Welsh Chapel & Marshalls Cross
road bridge.
As well as natural beauty in places such as the
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 St.Helens 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
the Sutton Mill Dam
that was made in 2006.
Our references to Sutton in St.Helens, incidentally,
include
Sutton Heath,
Sutton Manor,
Sutton Oak
and
Sutton Leach
and extend to
Marshalls Cross,
Clock Face,
Lea Green
as well as
Bold Heath.
Sutton
Beauty is
an evolving resource which is very regularly updated with
new images and information. So please do call back
and
contact us
if you spot any errors or omissions. Thank
you!
