Raunds County Infants School

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.

Corby Living Memories

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.

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.

Corby Living Memories

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]
