But, as this retro gallery shows, Mansfield has long had proud links with Eastern European countries, with many moving here after World War Two to work in mines and factories.
In this gallery we have pictures showing Polish, Ukrainian and Latvian clubs in the town over the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s.
And there are also plenty more snaps showing life across Mansfield and Ashfield.
You can get more local retro content here.
