We have searched the archives for pictures from the noughties of light switch-on events from Mansfield, Warsop, Kirkby, Sutton, Ollerton and Edwinstowe.
Have a look through and see who you can spot.
A message from the Editor:
In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever.
Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a subscription or buying a paper.
We stand together.
Nancy Fielder,
