Since these were taken for a Local History Project, some views still look the same but others are now totally different. Some shops have changed hands, structures demolished and replaced. The major difference to the village being the closure of the colliery. (see Clipstone Colliery page for photographs of the colliery taken for the same project.)

I have an ancestor named Clipstone Hall born in 1817 of a Quaker family from Sutton-in-Ashfield. I don't suppose anyone might know why he was given that name?
