Northamptonshire memories
Barbershop
Somewhere on the left I seem to remember a barbershop. I had my first ever haircut as a boy there, in about 1957.
St James Crescent
I lived in St James' Crescent from 1955 till 1960, (from ages 1 to 6) and went to the local primary school. I remember a lot of the names of neighbouring families.
Lords Saddle & Harness Makers
My ancestors lived in Thrapston from the early 1800s to 1917. They were saddle and harness makers, does anyone have any pictures of the shop? I believe it was near to the King's public house.
Kings Arms
My family owned this public house in the 19th century. Their name was Mary and John T Hull, has anyone a history of this public house? I have visited in 'modern' times and walked Thrapston's roads just to feel the place. I hope someone can help.
Lords Saddle And Harness Makers.
I recently come across small metal badge thing as as metal detector find. It looks like gun metal, with a coating of brass or gold laquer. It has inscribed on it/ LORD maker Thrapston. It is a very interesting piece from the past. If anyone living there has any information on this I would be most grateful. Many thanks. I hope this is of interest to someone.
The School House
My great great grandfather Matthew Stannett was an elementary teacher along with his wife Sarah Bush Bolton (Stannett). They lived in the school house in 1881 with their five children. Has anyone got a photo of the house or know of the Stannett family?
E Coles, Ladies' Outfitter, 37 Brook Street, Raunds
The house on the left is the one in which I was born. It had a shop underneath and a living/dining area on the ground floor and bedrooms and a bathroom and living room upstairs. The living room provided an excellent vantage point to view all the proceedings at the Methodist Chapel opposite. Never a wedding was missed and Mum would lower the shop blinds when a funeral was in progress. Our mother had the premises built in 1933-34. Next door were Ernest and Hilda Putt who had a hairdressing business. Their grandson Graham Holloway was born there, he used to visit and we would play together in the yard or across the littte rickety bridge which joined a strip of vegetable garden to their property. We were allowed to help ourselves to mint to make mint sauce for the lamb on Sunday! Mother was assisted in the shop by her younger sister (my aunt), Hilda Coles who was chiefly responsible for buying at the London fashion houses. On many... Read more
