Iremember when Ry and Tania took over the Roma and we had the Maltsters at Badby.
And I remember when the takings went missing from the 'music on the green' charity event last Sat, June 2008. [Well, someone has to leave a comment.]

Northamptonshire memories
Hi there
I remember the day that this engine arrived in the rec. It was a source of great entertainment for us youngsters particulary, as originally everything was accessible. I remember climbing up on the footplate and seeing a little lad emerging from the firebox. It was rumoured that it was possible to get into the boiler and exit up the... [more]

Extracts From Newnham & Northamptonshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Newnham, inspired by Frith photos.
Newnham is situated south of Daventry, and is reached by a narrow country lane passing over Newnham Hill. On the top of the hill is the outer navigation station for Heathrow Airport, used by the Trans-Atlantic flights. This row of houses is still there today, but perhaps looking a little more looked-after. The gable-ended building in the distance has long since gone, and modern houses have been built on both sides of the Badby... [more]

Here we are looking up School Hill towards what was the New Inn, kept by Albert Howard, who started supplying fuel for the new motorcar, perhaps in addition to beer for the passengers. The petrol pumps were still in situ when Frith's photographer took this picture. The school, which is still flourishing, is on the right just round the bend - note the old 'torch of learning' school sign. The school opened on this site in 1915.... [more]

From then until 1940 the bell ringers operated in the open air! The tower was refurbished and the bells rehung in 1940. It is thought that it was at this time that the ringers moved indoors to the tower... [more]
