Skegby is a residential ward on the edge of the Ashfield district in Nottinghamshire, England, sitting close to Sutton-in-Ashfield and within easy reach of Mansfield and Nottingham. It has a village-like feel of terraced streets and small semi-detached housing interspersed with local greens and post‑industrial open spaces, giving a mix of suburban convenience and nearby countryside.
Historically the area grew with the 19th‑century coal industry and later adjusted after pit closures, and today the community combines long‑standing local ties with a commuter population and small businesses. You'll find churches, pubs and active community and sports groups, plus pockets of reclaimed green space that reflect the ward’s industrial past and ongoing local regeneration efforts.
