Nice to look at the old photos of Brackley as I was born here in 1963. I lived at 54 Manor Road for many years. I moved away for a while but it was nice to return. I used to ride motorbikes with a group of friends - Steve & Andy Fell & Mark Thomas to name a few. Id love... [more]

I was a pupil at Whittlebury College 1962-1964 . The school was run by Major Meager and his wife as a sort of "crammer" for those of us who needed to get more help for O and A levels. The teachers were perhaps not the best in the county but did help many to get the O levels that were needed, including... [more]

I came to Hinton a lot in the 1970s as my aunty and uncle, Mrs and Mrs Good, rented Yew Tree House and Brook Farm Cottage. Mr Good was stationed at Upper Heyford and was in the US Airforce. His wife Rita was my mum's sister. We came to stay at both cottages on and off until up to 1974 when... [more]

Extracts From Crowfield & Northamptonshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Crowfield, inspired by Frith photos.
Northampton Town and City Memories
This view down St Giles Street has the Guildhall tower in the distance and the 1938 Co-op on the right, a building in Art Deco style. The ter- race with the deeply-shadowed eaves in the middle distance is the 17th- century Massingberd Charity Gift buildings, rebuilt in 1864.

The tower was rebuilt in the 17th century, apart from the arch into the nave we see in... [more]

Northampton Town and City Memories
This view is taken from beside the 17th-century pre-fire stone survivor, Hazelrigg House, looking east along the tram tracks, with the road widening towards Horse Market. All the buildings on the left have recently been replaced (in 2002) by the Sol Central complex, which includes an Ibis Hotel.
