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.

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]

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.

I lived in St James' Crescent from 1955 till 1960, (from ages 1 to 6) and went to the local primary school. I remember a lot of the names of neighbouring families.

Extracts From Stanwick & Northamptonshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Stanwick, inspired by Frith photos.
Northamptonshire Living Memories
Stanwick is a village two miles south-west of Raunds. In 1960 Phipps was taken over by the giant Watney-Mann brewery, which retained the Phipps name but introduced the lettering shown here. Particularly poignant is the barrel over the inn sign, a reminder of Watneys Red Barrel - a truly awful keg beer that almost singlehandedly led to the Campaign for Real... [more]

Kettering Town and City Memories
The pavilion in the park became popular locally for celebrations and company dinners. One of Charles Wicksteed's nventions was a machine for the tearooms, which cut and buttered bread. As he grew older, Charles Wicksteed would often visit the park in a two-seater car, with his terrier, Jerry, sitting in the passenger seat. In 1927 Jerry disappeared on one of these... [more]
