Round the rec

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.

The Morris car depicted in the photograph was overhauled and bodied by my late father, Arthur Parker, in 1951-2.

As a 7-year old I was thrilled to be able to help with... [more]

A little uphill from view R352015, The New Inn is set at an angle to the A5 Watling Street and has a 1740 middle with late Victorian wings. It has since been renamed The Heart of England. The old sheet metal and wire workers workshop is now the Chinese take-away, Weedon House.

Daventry Living Memories

The New Inn, sporting its new Watney's Red Barrel sign by the door and the sign board with the house style lettering, stands up the hill in Road Weedon on the old London to Holyhead turnpike. The inn is now called the Heart of England, and actually stands in the parish of Dodford. The boundary runs along the A45 and veers left by the Lawn Works to meet the A5, Watling Street.

Northamptonshire Living Memories

This village is on Watling Street at the junction with the Northampton to Warwick Road. The older village, Lower Weedon, is to the south-west of Watling Street. This view is of the pub, incorporating a lodge. Much enlarged, it still thrives.
