Northamptonshire memories
My wife Gail and I had our 2nd son born at the 'Duke', we were licencees for about 3 years till around the end of 1980. We met some great people and have good memories. I wonder what happened to 'Johnny and the Jailbirds' ... and would love to know what happened to Maurice Middleton.

My aunt and uncle used to run the Duke of Wellington Public house, Hazel (nee Austin from Irthlingborough) and Bill Forscutt, previously they ran the Bell in Little Addington for a few years. Bill died some years ago but in 2007 Hazel is still going strong.

This photograph shows the Raunds County Infants School - the County Modern School was behind the Infants school and the two were joined by some flat-roofed shelters.
I started at the County Infants school on my 4th birthday in 1948 and my father started work there in the same year as the caretaker of both the Infants and the County... [more]

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... [more]

This scene in 2008 looks almost exactly the same as it did in 1969. Further down (out of sight of this picture) many changes have taken place. George Burton's papershop is now a pizza parlour (didn't even know what a pizza was in the early 60s!). Duncan's Chemist shop (famously made of wood) has been demolished, oh how as a youngster...

The parade of shops situated on the right was once the site of a large house called The Rookery, we lived at the Rookery from 1956 -1962. This adjoined the old Procea Products factory where my father worked for many years as a lorry driver/mechanic. Procea was famous for making slimming bread. The Rookery was owned by Procea and split into... [more]

Greetings, My name is Diane and I am an American who lived in the Grange on High Street in Islip in the early 60's. My father was in the USAF stationed at Alconberry. I have fond memories of Islip. I remember going to the fair in the churchyard, walking to Thrapston for fish and chips and, much to the dismay of... [more]

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.

Extracts From Great Addington & Northamptonshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Great Addington, inspired by Frith photos.
Some of the earthworks of the medieval fishponds opposite the Manor House can be seen in the foreground. The remarkable 173ft- long church stands to the right, but it is partly obscured from view today by a high wire fence covered with foliage which encloses a putting and bowling green.
This is an extract from Corby Living Memories.

The boundary wall of Manor Park lies to the right, with the manor house and vicarage, out of view behind the trees, on the opposite side of the road. The tower of the parish church with its spire alongside, rather than above, lies ahead, with a path leading to the market square to its left.

The scene on the right of the photograph is virtually unrecognisable today. All the buildings have been demolished on that side, and the road curving round (Buckwell Street) is now a cul-de-sac. The old Town Cross/milestone still stands on its original site, and a row of shops has been built behind it. The left-hand side of the High Street, however, is virtually the same as it is here, with the George Hotel on the corner of... [more]
