MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
TOWN COUNCIL’S WELCOME
AS a Town Council we welcome you to this, the third edition
of the Mablethorpe, Trusthorpe and Sutton on Sea Town
Guide.
The parish of Mablethorpe, Trusthorpe and Sutton
on Sea extends beyond what many believe is the
boundary – for example extending from Kent
Avenue, up and half way along the “Maltby
Straight”, along Mile Lane and out past Rossa
Lane at Trusthorpe almost to Hannah, back
down beyond Sutton on Sea through
Sandilands and the golf course to the boundary
with Huttoft. This gives the area the uniqueness
of being a mix of scenery and amenities – from
the bustle of Mablethorpe High Street and
central promenade with its shops and
amusements, to the quiet and gentle walks of
Trusthorpe and the tranquillity of Sutton on Sea
and Sandilands. With the agricultural countryside on
one side and the beautiful sandy beach on the other,
this area offers something for everyone, and we hope
both residents and visitors enjoy the opportunities this
unique parish gives us.

MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
TRADITIONAL SEASIDE RESORT
MABLETHORPE
SITUATED on the “drier part of the country”, Mablethorpe flourished as a traditional
seaside resort when the railway opened in 1877 bringing with it a flood of visitors from the
East Midlands and North West. Another
valuable use of the railway was the
transportation of cattle and livestock to
Louth market, a lifeline for the farmers and
agricultural industry which pre-dates the
area’s attraction for visitors. Pre-dating even
this, it is noted in the Doomsday book that
the production of salt appeared to be the
prime industry for the northern area of
Mablethorpe – to Saltfleet and Grainthorpe.
Throughout the centuries the area has had
its fair share of problems, not least a loss of
up to a third of the population to the Black
Death in 1349 which had a dramatic effect on this small farming community. Population
figures were low – being a mere 40 adults in 1115; rising to 157 in 1603 and again to an
estimated 261 in 1841 – compare that with today! Despite the closure of the railway by Dr
Beeching in 1970, visitors and tourists flock to this popular seaside resort, boosting the
population for Mablethorpe from its static of around 7000 (2001 census) to almost double
that. Maintaining its reputation for a family resort, the area offers children the excitement
of the funfair, the fun of building sandcastles on the beach, riding the donkeys and
paddling in the sea. For the ex children there are the colourful gardens to visit, the bowling
greens, boating lake, and of course the abundance of pubs and restaurants to cater for
refreshments.
For the sporting visitors there are a number of clubs – tennis, football, badminton and the
Sports Centre all catering for a variety of sports, with horse riding and fishing available
nearby. Shoppers can browse the weekly market and the many different shops in the town,
and the Seal Sanctuary at the north end of Mablethorpe gives an insight into the life of the
mammals of the sea as well as birds and other creatures.
Evening and night time entertainment abound, from the local cinema to the bustling night
clubs and entertainment venues to the many pubs in town offering live music and bands.
Late July sees the annual “switch on” event, with parades, bands and traditional seaside
entertainment ending with the formal switch on of the illuminations and fireworks.
September sees the now popular Bathing Beauties festival, arts and crafts mingling with
the traditional beach huts; and over the winter months there are the Christmas lights and
beach motor bike racing. All in all, there is something for everyone summer and winter,
visitor and resident – which makes Mablethorpe the place to be.
SUTTON ON SEA
Formerly known as Sutton in the Marsh, Sutton on Sea offers a more tranquil environment
to the bustle and business of Mablethorpe. With an estimated population of 100 in 1287
(which is probably more than in Mablethorpe at a similar time), the area was
predominantly farming with some fishing. Before the branch line connected Sutton to the
main railway, it had its own steam tram running to Alford, with its Sutton terminus being
the Bacchus Hotel. Talk of a harbour at that time brought much excitement and the Sea
6 2011-2012

MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
View Freehold Land Society was formed to
develop the area, resulting in the Park Road
and Grove Road development. Today the
area retains its peacefulness, with no
amusement arcades or fun fair. The town’s
residents (2001 census – 4000) and visitors
have time to savour the quiet sandy
beaches, discover the individual family craft
and traditional locally produced food shops
as well as visiting the tranquil pleasure
gardens. The sporting contingency is still
catered for with the football pitch, the fitness
equipment and the skateboard ramp, as well
as the cricket and bowling pitches and paddling pool. Nearby Sandilands Golf Club
welcomes visitors to play and enjoy the club house facilities, and nature lovers can visit
Acre Gap Conservation Area or walk along Branch Line Walk to Hannah.
The area still has its lively moments though – with July seeing the popular carnival with
a week of activities leading up to the parade, and December seeing the traditional
Christmas market means Sutton on Sea is a place in its own right.
TRUSTHORPE
Nestling between Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea is
Trusthorpe – the village element of the parish with green
fields and grazing cows to keep the agricultural spirit alive
and maintain the distinctiveness of the area with a
resident population of 1900 (2001 census) An
abundance of definitive footpaths to walk along, as
well as the beach and sea defence walk gives
Trusthorpe a gentler feel. With dwellings nestling
amongst caravan sites on one side, or fields and
countryside on the other, the area has its own
character and history. With a population of around 286
in 1842, mainly employed in agriculture, the area can
boast an interesting past – with smuggling and shipwreaks
amongst its ghosts! Time was when, at very low
tide, an old forest could be seen off Trusthorpe beach, a relic
of global warming of the time when the sea claimed the land!

MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
ACRE GAP
ACRE Gap lies between Church Lane and Sea Lane,
Sandilands – the site where the sea undermined the
defences in 1953. Recently (2010) a joint project
between Lindsey Marsh Drainage Board and
Mablethorpe and Sutton Town Council completed the
inline storage areas on this site to improve the flood
defence standards of protection. A sub-committee of the
Town Council, working with a small group of enthusiasts
including a strong backing from local WI members, now
form the committee to manage and improve the area to
create a wetland conservation site helping the
conservation of wildlife. Many varieties of wild flowers
have been identified, including cowslips and bee
orchids! A number of trees now established include holly,
hazel, blackthorn, alder and horse chestnut. Sandilands
hidden asset can be found by walking south along the
promenade from Church Lane pullover, where you can view the area before going down
the steps onto a lower footpath which runs from the bottom of Church Lane pullover
through to Sandhurst Road, leading to Sea Lane, Sandilands. A number of footpaths cross
the Acre Gap site, making it a favourite dog walking place and giving walkers to
opportunity to discover new plants and identify the wildlife.
BATHING BEAUTIES
IN 2007 five new and unique beach huts were added to the hundreds of traditional huts
lining the promenade from Mablethorpe to Sandilands.
The new huts were the catalyst for the first festival of
beach huts; the only event of its kind in the U.K. The
festival has been repeated each year since, bringing in
even more visitors from far and wide and becoming a
festival of art including linear dancing and festivities. In
2009 the International Black Seas Festival brought
performers to do street theatre as part of the Bathing
Beauties. During Bathing Beauties weekend the
promenade and the famous beach huts are decorated
inside and out with a wide variety of themes and visitors
can partake in the many activities within. Events on the beach and sea front include music,
story telling, puppet shows and art displays –
including giant deckchairs. In 2010 the national Beach
Hut of the Year competition winner was right here on
our doorstep – with Mrs Margot Charlton’s hut with the
outside designed in the style of Donald McGill – King
of the Saucy Postcard! There are plenty of places to
eat and drink and of course there are still the usual
attractions of the town to be had, from the fun fair to
the donkey rides. Look out for activities in September
– the month of the festival.

MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
MABLETHORPE LIFEBOAT
MABLETHORPE Station was first
established in 1883 to replace one at
Theddlethorpe three miles to the north
because there were difficulties in obtaining
both men and horses to launch the lifeboat.
Built on the beach at Mablethorpe North
End, it was publicly inaugurated on the 4th
June 1883, when a crowd of some 10,000
people turned up for the ceremony.
Due to location problems, a new station,
now known as “The Boatshed”, on Victoria
Road was built in 1900. During The Great
War this station was temporarily closed because so many men were away at the war. The
station never recovered and the last lifeboat, the John Rowson Linguard was withdrawn in
1920. The Heywood (Lifeboat number 275), built in 1882 and commissioned as the
Mablethorpe lifeboat in 1883 was the town’s first lifeboat. During her years of service it was
launched on 24 occasions and saved 13 lives. It took 12 horses to launch the lifeboat and
the 10 man crew would be able to achieve approximately 31 ⁄2 horse power in heavy seas.
In 1965 the lifeboat station was re-established as an inshore station when a D class
lifeboat went on service. Today, the new station, built in 2001, houses an Atlantic 75 and
the D class inshore lifeboats. For more information about the station why not visit the
station’s website at www.mablethorpe.info/lifeboat

CHURCHES
ST MARY (MABLETHORPE)
THE present church is thought to date from c1300 as the original was thought to have
been washed away in a great storm surge of 1287. Legend has it that the bells will be
heard to ring when another flood is imminent. In the church entrance a slab was found
when excavations took place in the 1950s – during a bell ringers practise the floor started
to cave in and the grave was discovered, it is thought to be that of George de Mablethorpe.
The tower contains 6 bells; in earlier times the bells were tolled to mark the passing of a
parishioner, twelve times for a man, nine times for a woman and three times for a child. In
1978 the mediaeval arches were replaced but some of the stone bases are still original.
In the Sanctuary is a tomb that may have been that of an unknown Earl Fitzwilliam, which
legend has that he fought a duel in the 14th century, in which both parties died. He was
buried here and his helmet can still be seen today. There is likewise a monument in the
church at Maltby to an Earl which further supports the legend. The church seats around
200 people and Sunday Service is held at 11.00am and Thursdays at 9.30am with coffee/
tea served afterwards.
★ ★ ★
ST PETER (TRUSTHORPE)
The original church at Trusthorpe is said to
have been situated a quarter of a mile east
of where it stands now, and was destroyed
by the encroaching sea. The present church
consists of a Nave, Chancel (added in 1931)
and Tower (constructed of red brick) and a
mediaeval font. In the wall of the porch is an
inverted stone upon which has been
sculptured a shield with a cross with a gothic
inscription. This impressive church has a
tower dating 1606 although the church was
re-built in 1842. Sunday Service start at
8.30am and Tuesdays 9.30am.
★ ★ ★
ST CLEMENT (SUTTON-ON-SEA)
Many years ago a large part of the parish (then Sutton in the Marsh) was washed away
by the sea, including the church, where for many years it was said the church could be
seen at low tide. St Clements was re-built in 1819 and again in 1860 the chancel was
enlarged and the transept added to improve the seating area. Although now a fairly
modern structure, it is noted for its “leaning tower” which contains four bells, the oldest
dating possibly from the 15th century. It seats 200 people and Sunday Service is held at
9.45am with a Wednesday service at 9.30am followed by tea/coffee.

MABLETHORPE IN BLOOM
MABLETHORPE boasts an award winning
beach, with dune areas planted with native
flora and conservation work to recycle the
towns Christmas trees being a vital part of
improvements to the dunes sea defences.
Throughout the town each year there are
teams of workers, volunteers and staff, busy
planting, trimming, watering and growing in
order to improve the chances in the regional
and national In Bloom competitions. Winning
a Silver in the East Midlands category in
2009, with individual areas in the town
winning Silver Gilt, the team worked even
harder to become winners of the Coastal Town Category in 2010, and attained a Silver in
the National In Bloom competition. We’re Going for Gold next! But it’s not just about
winning trophies, it is about encouraging people to take pride in their town, in their area
and helping the community to come together to achieve great things. The core
Mablethorpe In Bloom group pull in many helpers, all volunteers, as well as assistance
from Town and District Councils to make sure Mablethorpe looks its best throughout the
whole season and beyond.

MERIDALE
IN November 2010, Meridale Youth & Community
Centre in Sutton on Sea celebrated 45 years in
serving the local community.
Established in 1965 as a Youth Club by a group of
local teenagers, it has gone on to become a very
important organisation in the area, with
recognition from a wide ranging groups, societies
and Town, District and County Councils.
In 2004 the Centre was honoured with the
Queens Award for Voluntary service to the
community. Meridale was the only recipient in the
county and one of only 104 in the whole of the UK.
The Meridale Hall
As in the early days, young people, with the advice and support of a Management Committee,
look after the day-to-day management of the centre. Centre Manager John Monk MBE, has
been directly responsible for its growth and continuance over the years.
Meridale is ideally placed in the centre of Sutton on Sea and offers first class facilities, with
disabled access throughout; separate meeting rooms and fully equipped kitchen, internet
access and more, to accommodate just about every conceivable need.
The Centre also produces extremely successful exhibitions and concerts and the hugely
popular ‘Let’s Celebrate Sutton’ extravaganzas.
Other achievements include the provision and distribution of its own community newsletter,
which covers Huttoft, Sandilands, Sutton on Sea and Trusthorpe with plans to extend into
Mablethorpe.
With help from the Town Council, young people were responsible for designing and providing
the wrought iron railings around the War Memorial, erected just in time for the Remembrance
Service in November 2010.
Meridale has recently undertaken an ambitious project to develop a derelict piece of land at
the rear of the centre to provide a safe play area and community garden for the benefit of the
whole community.
Meridale receives overwhelming local support and continues to play a vital role in the service
of the whole community.

THE BOATSHED
BUILT in 1900 this building, situated centrally in
Mablethorpe on Victoria Road, housed the lifeboat
until 1920, when the last boat there was
decommissioned. Following a period of dereliction,
new life has been breathed into it by the Boatshed
Organisation who turned the building into a multi use
centre – offering support, information, advice and
training to the community. Visitors to the former
lifeboat station will see how modern day needs can
be accessed from older buildings – from UK Online
computer use and training to the Lincolnshire Credit
Union. All manner of information useful to both
residents and visitors can be accessed here – and
the interior still reflects the building’s former use.

MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
QUEENS PARK
LOCATED right behind the promenade,
Queens Park provides a sheltered area to
enjoy the many facilities on offer. Its car park
provides a central location to park, where
visitors and residents can walk to the town
for its shops and arcades, up to the
promenade to the beach and sea, or
through the park itself to admire the lake and
the gardens, in particular the rose beds that
formed part of the “Mablethorpe In Bloom”
entry. Or you can play bowls on the excellent
Bowling Green there, have a go at Crazy Golf, watch the geese and ducks on the lake,
take one of the boats out or relax by the lake
sampling the fare from the cafe. Children
can take a ride on the model railway or use
the equipment in the play area or just enjoy
the activities with their parents. The Park is
situated at the bottom of the promenade, so
is ideal for a change of scenery from the sea
and beach, offering gardens, greenery,
bushes and of course the lake with its ducks
and other water loving birds.

MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
SUTTON PLEASURE GARDENS
SITUATED around the pullover and Meridale
Hall area, Sutton Pleasure Gardens offer play
areas and tranquil sitting areas for children and
adults alike. With a safe and pleasant paddling
pool where children can play under the watchful
eye of parents sitting around the pool, tennis
courts, grassed areas, bowling green, water
features, sitting areas, colonnade, cafe and
refreshments the area provides a safe
sheltered haven for everyone.
WHERE ELSE IS THERE?
St Marys Park – situated almost in the centre of
Mablethorpe, this Conservation Park was
developed following the closure of the landfill site
there, and consists of wild grass area, trees and
shrubs, walkways and a small pond. It forms part of
the cycleway around and through the town.
Diana Memorial Garden – a small garden area
situated off Trusthorpe Road which gives a
pleasant place to just sit and relax, with a memorial
and floral tribute to Diana Princess of Wales.
Railway Walk and Turntable Area – situated between
High Street (off Station Road) and the Industrial Estate,
Railway Walk is a pleasant green walk following the line of
the old railway. It consists of the site of the former Railway
Turntable, where the trains would turn around ready to go
back down the track facing the other way. This has been
turned into a small conservation area, with a monument to
the former use in the form of a carved engine, interspersed
with wildlife feeding areas and associated planting.
Branch Line Walk – Following the line of the old railway from Crabtree Lane Sutton to
Hannah, the Branch Line walk is an excellent use of the former railway line by
incorporating a walk with the need to conserve wildlife - plants, birds and insects. The
trees, grasses and plants provide shelter to a variety of birds, insects and small creatures
and give walkers the chance to wander the footpaths in the area.
Cycleway – From St Marys Park through Stanley Avenue, along High Street (with care)
and Queens Park to the pullover and then on through to Huttoft Car Terrace. (Note – care
is needed through the sand areas, and right of way must be given to pedestrians on
the promenade).

MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
SEA VIEWS AND WALKWAYS
THE refurbishment of the Sea View Car Park in
2008 not only improved parking facilities in the
area, but has given visitors the opportunity to have
excellent views across the beach and out to sea.
Walking from the cafe and shop along the cobbled
pathway to the observation platform visitors can
take advantage of the fantastic vantage point, and
with the telescope can even see some of the
constant stream of shipping heading to and from
the port of Grimsby.
Two sets of steps allow access from the car park to
the blue flag award beach where acres of sandy
beaches can be enjoyed. From the south end of
this car park you can walk along the lighted
pathway towards the main Mablethorpe pullover.
This walkway forks just before reaching the
crazy golf course to allow you to walk down
through the sand dunes and join the promenade at
the far end of North Promenade, or you can
continue onto the land side of the dunes where the
crazy golf course starts and then on down to
the skatepark.

minerals, fossils and shells

MABLETHORPE & SUTTON TOWN GUIDE
SKATEPARK AND EQUIPMENT
The skatepark was constructed in early 2008 after much
campaigning by the local skaters and built by the district council.
Currently the skatepark has a Spine, Fun Box, 1/4 Pipe, 2 Grind
bars and another ramp. With all the use that it is getting we are
sure that you’ll enjoy competing with the regular users to see who
can perform the best tricks. The two pieces of “gym” equipment
were erected through Groundwork Lincs in conjunction with the
District and Town Councils in 2010 and are designed to exercise
muscles whilst providing enjoyment. The Rodeo Board and the
Twin Fly are both popular with young and not so young.
COUNCILLORS
DUE to the elections scheduled for May 2011 the decision was taken not to include the
Town Councillors’ details in this guide. An up to date list of Councillors can be obtained
from the Town Council office. The Town Council consists of 18 locally elected councillors
– in six wards. As a corporate body, whose powers and duties are set out in law, the
Town Council is the local council, responsible for a variety of local issues from providing
floral displays to allotments. A full list of councillors, responsibilities of the Council,
information and meeting dates can be obtained from the Town Clerk. To contact the
Clerk you can either: visit the offices in the Library and CAP, Stanley Avenue,
Mablethorpe; telephone 01507 329172; e mail – mablethorpetc@btconnect.com or visit our
