Smithy

The Bus Station

I have put 1970 as my year of recollection, but I was catching the 259 service from bay 5 at about the time this photograph was taken.

Northamptonshire Living Memories

Immediately east of Wicksteed Park, on the higher ground above the River Ise, Barton Seagrave has a small core of stone-built houses and cottages and a good Norman church around a triangular green. To the south are large modern housing estates. This view looks north towards Barton Seagrave Hall, just visible beyond the tall lime trees. Since the 1950s, the cottages... [more]
