Landseer Court And Hazel Leys School

A Memory of Corby.

I remember coming to Corby from South Wales and living in Landseer Court. My dad loved Corby, my mum not so much , we had nothing to what we had had in Wales, but it was getting dad out of the pit. We had a great market, and good shops, shame it has not advanced as it should have. I love the wooded areas and also the big black swan which as disappeared, shame, but there you go. The cinema down the old village every Sunday night, the Open Hearth and Dougie King, are my memories.
