Portland Square
Sutton in Ashfield
Nottinghamshire
England
Portland Square is thought to be the site of the first village green. The square was previously known as Swine Green when the central pond was used to water livestock, and later became known as Engine Green when a building to house the manual Fire Engine was erected on the site. The square was named Portland Square by the Sutton in Ashfield Board in honour of the Duke of Portland's family. It is now a pedestrianised area, with the largest sundial in Europe in the centre.
