Sutton-in-Ashfield, in Nottinghamshire, had a population of around 46,000 at the 2021 census — one of the larger towns in the county, and long a centre of textile manufacturing.
A Nottinghamshire hosiery town
Sutton-in-Ashfield grew through the 18th and 19th centuries as part of Nottinghamshire's framework knitting industry, with hand-operated knitting frames worked in homes before hosiery and textile factories took over production. That manufacturing base shaped the town for generations, and it remains part of the wider East Midlands textile and knitwear tradition that put Nottinghamshire on the map long before the city itself became known for lace.
What that history doesn't leave behind
A town built on factories and mills has plenty of shops for everyday essentials, but it was never the kind of place to develop a dedicated sweet shop stocking bulk bags, vegan and halal-friendly ranges, or trade cases for local businesses.
