Northamptonshire memories
My memories of Byfield, where I lived on the brand new council estate, in Lovett Road, are idyllic. I was there from age 6 to 10, then we moved to York.
We children had to walk what seemed like miles, in all weathers, to the village school which was on the opposite side of the village. Passing the sweet shop on... [more]

The Gorse BR Staff Association Club
My mother and father (Charles and Lilian) ran the Club from 1954-1957 approx. We lived in just one part with a large living room, a kitchen which led to the back area of stables and grass and 4 bedrooms. Most of the upstairs rooms in the rest of the Gorse were unused except for the Billiard room, but as an eleven... [more]

Each day my journey either was via the cinder track (there was the old reservoir running alongside and the iron railway bridge stood in those days, the railway was still operating I think or in the stages of being dismantled) or we walked over a somewhat ricketty wooden bridge at the bottom of Castle Hill, there were a few hens scratting...

Extracts From Appletree & Northamptonshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Appletree, inspired by Frith photos.
Some of the earthworks of the medieval fishponds opposite the Manor House can be seen in the foreground. The remarkable 173ft- long church stands to the right, but it is partly obscured from view today by a high wire fence covered with foliage which encloses a putting and bowling green.
This is an extract from Corby Living Memories.

The boundary wall of Manor Park lies to the right, with the manor house and vicarage, out of view behind the trees, on the opposite side of the road. The tower of the parish church with its spire alongside, rather than above, lies ahead, with a path leading to the market square to its left.

The scene on the right of the photograph is virtually unrecognisable today. All the buildings have been demolished on that side, and the road curving round (Buckwell Street) is now a cul-de-sac. The old Town Cross/milestone still stands on its original site, and a row of shops has been built behind it. The left-hand side of the High Street, however, is virtually the same as it is here, with the George Hotel on the corner of... [more]
