Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Hi, I was born in Kettering in 1954 and lived there until we moved to Weymouth in 1963. My grandparents lived in Corby and I remember a fair bit about Corby, especially around where they lived in Studfall Avenue. Grandad worked at Stewarts and Lloyds as a truck driver, and my Nana worked at Smiths crisp factory. My Dad, Derrick Samways, was the manager of the Odeon Corby in the 1950s. He has many memories (and photos) of his time there. I remember he always dressed in evening suit for the job. I liked going to the Saturday kids club there.
