Carsic Estate, Sutton-in-Ashfield. Nottinghamshire. 1984. Three girls are turning sixteen.
They're dreaming of new clothes from the market, their first full wage packet, and nights out.
They have no idea their world is about to change.

.@mrJamesGraham I am part of a project .@AshfieldCreates we are making a people's museum of Ashfield to tell the story of #Ashfield & of course I wrote a play. @MrsJayneW @NPtheatre about being a girl in Sutton-in-Ashfield in 1984 - we are trying to tell our story. Often ignored & left out #EvanDavis
