Welcome to The Long Eaton & Sawley Archive, a nostalgic look back at two villages and their development into a thriving town. The historical information is by no means exhaustive, but we have tried to include as many topics of interest as possible, within the limits of our time and resources, to give a flavour of life in Long Eaton and Sawley through the years. Like most towns, Long Eaton is continually growing and changing, as new developments are introduced, such as the pedestrianisation of the High Street and Market Place. We hope the site will reflect these changes as they occur.
