Stone Age Sutton

Sutton has the distinct feel of a village, even though it's in the city.
The surviving cottages from yesteryear contribute to this feel, as do winding streets and, of course, the Grade 1 listed church of St James.
Sutton was once a desirable place for newly-wealthy Victorian and Edwardian families to move to.
But it's believed the area's first residents may have arrived eight thousand years ago during the Stone Age.
It's believed a pebble mace head, found in the area, would have been used for stunning animals by the early settlers.
They would have been attracted by the area of raised land created when a glacier retreated at the end of the Ice Age, which would have protected them from floods.
A hoard a Roman coins dating back to 330 AD was also found in Sutton.
But back to the present day - and Sutton has been one of 26 conservation areas within the city which are undergoing appraisals by the council's Urban Design and Conservation Team to find out more about their history, and set contexts for future developments.
Copies of the draft Sutton appraisal can be obtained by phoning the team on 300300, and comments are welcome until February 29, before the final version is put on the council's website.
