Sandhills/Middle Turn (commonly known)
To the left of this picture was a cul-de-sac called Sandhills. My Aunty Grace and uncle and family lived here, so did my mother Margaret Anderson at some stage and later various cousins. Down the bottom to the right was the original local shop (known Gammidges? when my Mother was small) owned by Greenwood for many years later (and when I... [more]

She worked at Mr Tattersall's as a housekeeper and during the holidays I would go down with her.

Extracts From Pitsford & Northamptonshire books

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]
