Year 1900 maps initial developments stretching village borders eastward along Hucknall Lane. Renaming the later classified B6026 as both Huthwaite Road and Sutton Road, marked simplest divisional line. A New Hucknall Colliery tramway fed coals to a road side wharf pushing extreme limits beyond later sited Colliery and CWS sports fields likewise claiming Huthwaite use. Pit housing on south side really asserted Boundary Terrace with Huthwaite addressing, to lastly also include Carnarvon Grove off north side.

Huthwaite Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield

A public footpath still follows course of the collieries industrial tramway from where the wharf stood recognised on Huthwaite Road. The 1917 Huthwaite Urban District map reveals rapid progression of residential developments mainly opposite that roadside. The original colliery sports grounds once hid behind rickety wooden fencing, is since fronted by a block of flats, while the neighbouring Care Home was also built upon past CWS sports fields. Side entrance later advertises 2004 residential developments named The Fieldings, but the Duke of Portland's stipulation first selling off this land for sports is upheld, by accessing modern facilities at rear.

The Fieldings

Relocation of the Sutton based Mansfield Hosiery Mills Cricket Club adopted rear grounds since addressing The Fieldings. Their modern sports and social club house is also equipped to encourage young footballers. Assisting the Snipes 2007 resurgence made use of an adjacently enclosed pitch, although league demands left that Sutton Town AFC facing an uncertain future beyond 2014.

Boundary Terrace

The block of pit housing appropriately named Boundary Terrace along left side firstly asserted 1890 place inside Huthwaite. They were soon supported by facing shop fronts between north branching side streets that lastly included Carnarvon Grove edging right side. Earliest postcards follow the 1906 laid public tramway entering Huthwaite along this later clearly titled Sutton Road.

Free Press notes 1934 bereavement identified Mrs Bowring at 2 Boundary Terrace, Huthwaite, plus 1935 funeral of former New Hucknall Colliery worker at same block address held by 63 year old Mr Richard Oliver who'd lived in Huthwaite the past 40 years.

Shop fronts between Carnarvon Grove and George Street may have more readily accepted Sutton readdressing on Huthwaite Road by equally greeting full westerly town expansion.. The thriving and closer Huthwaite township had claimed individual parish status, but more shifting of church related coverage only adds further confusion comparing 2003 scenes readdressed into Sutton.

National Post Office cutbacks inevitably closed the small 2003 Carnarvon Grove corner Sutton sub-branch. Scenes furthermore note 2010 impending loss of one historically associated Fishers family business, long after Huthwaite next lost George Street.
