The picture was most likely to have been taken in the early 1920s.
An early reference states that the Manor was moated and that it once had a drawbridge.
In this photo taken in the 1920s the shape of the moat can be clearly seen.
This picture was taken close to the corner between Browns Lane and Stanton Lane
Three cottages can be discerned; Kemps Cottage is on the far left; Rose Cottage now number 35 Stanton Lane is in the centre. To the right is Goddards Cottage, now demolished. The course of the moat can be seen behind the sheep.
This view of the manor shows the characteristic outline of one of the Walnut Trees in winter.
Can anyone help with this picture ? We know it is taken in the grounds of the old Manor House but are not sure which direction the picture was taken from.
The building had stood empty since 1934 when the Bryans family moved to the newly built Manor Farm House on the corner of Browns Lane and Stanton Lane. Note the partly fallen ivy-clad chimney on the left.
The Manor was finally demolished between 1948 and 1949.
William is pictured here with his grand daughters Shirley with Pam at the front.
The plough attached to a wire hawser was pulled back and forth across the field between two traction engines. The cable winding drum can be seen between the wheels of both engines. Steam ploughing was first used in Stanton in the 1860s. The more comfortable Fowler ride-on ploughs were used right up to 1936 for the heavier clay soils in the village.
Dixie Ball from Bunny can be seen on top of his traction engine. George Webster of Glebe Farm is standing on the cart at the left. Many of the regular farm jobs ploughing, sowing, weeding, harvesting, carting and threshing were communal efforts by the farmers of the village. Note the presence of girls from the Women's Land Army.

with their grand children taken in 1938. Garnett Bradshaw standing with the twins Eluned and Malcolm held in arms. It is thought the picture was taken outside Goddard's Cottage on Stanton Lane.Can anyone identify the car please?
This view was thought to be the only known post card of early Stanton. However thanks are due to Nigel Morley of the Keyworth and District Local History Society for identifying the scene as Selby Lane in Keyworth. Selby Lane was formerly known as Stanton Lane.

It has just passed through Widmerpool Station heading north in the cutting towards the Stanton Tunnel.
Originally constructed for the Midland Railway during the years 1875-1878. The entrance to the tunnel is seen here before conversion and electrification when it became the British Rail Test Track.
This picture clearly shows the Midland Railway plaque above the tunnel entrance dated 1879. Modern re-measurement of the tunnel length to 1332 yards has added two yards to the original estimation of its length.
These cottages were built around 1939 to house some of the staff that worked at the Home Office Wireless Telegraphy Station.
The six timber houses for the Home Office Wireless Telegraphy Station were flattened in 1996. The site has been subsequently developed into a small residential area called "Stanton Mews".
Halfway through the demolition of one of the radio cottages off Browns Lane.
The tower was opened in June 1933 as the first of its kind in Nottingham and brought mains water for the first time to many nearby villages. It was demolished in 1985. The site today can be identified by the original planting of a ring of Poplar Trees.
Glebe Farm is on the left whilst the Rectory is the white- painted house on the right. Glebe Farm house is Jacobean dating from approximately 1600 AD. In 1938 George Webster farmed at Glebe Farm whilst the Rectory was owned by Mr and Mrs A J and K M Bird.
The seven Victorian buttresses, one on the north wall, four on the south wall and two taller ones on the east wall, were rebuilt and bonded into the stonework in the major 1950 restoration.
A wooden gabled entrance porch on low stone walls was added on in 1950 to the solid door with ornate iron hinges.
There is a single bell in the turret. It was recast by Taylors Bell Foundry, Loughborough in 1952. The inscription reads "Recast (T) 1952" and "Sam.Hake 1661 (59)".
