Stanton Hill and Skegby are neighbouring former mining settlements in the district of Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England, lying just north of Sutton‑in‑Ashfield and within easy commuting distance of Nottingham and Mansfield. The area mixes compact terraces and post‑war housing with patches of semi‑rural countryside and reclaimed green space where colliery pits once stood, giving a suburban feel with quick access to nearby towns and walking routes.
Both communities have a strong working‑class, mining heritage from the 19th and 20th centuries, and that history still shapes local identity through community centres, clubs, churches and annual events. Economic change after pit closures brought regeneration, modest new housing and small businesses alongside traditional shops and pubs, so the villages now combine commuter households with long‑standing local families and a quiet, community‑led social scene.
