I Grew up in The Best Place Ever,
My parents moved to Thorpe Waterville in the 1960s, my parents worked on the farm. Growing up there was great and l spent hours riding my bike round all the villages, and biking to Aldwincle to the village shop to get sweets. I attended Aldwincle Primary School. We moved to Thrapston in the late 1970s. I was lucky enough to spend carefree summers in a great little village where everyone knew all, and always friendly.
Northamptonshire memories
Barbershop
Somewhere on the left I seem to remember a barbershop. I had my first ever haircut as a boy there, in about 1957.
St James Crescent
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.
Lords Saddle & Harness Makers
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.
Kings Arms
My family owned this public house in the 19th century. Their name was Mary and John T Hull, has anyone a history of this public house? I have visited in 'modern' times and walked Thrapston's roads just to feel the place. I hope someone can help.
Lords Saddle And Harness Makers.
I recently come across small metal badge thing as as metal detector find. It looks like gun metal, with a coating of brass or gold laquer. It has inscribed on it/ LORD maker Thrapston. It is a very interesting piece from the past. If anyone living there has any information on this I would be most grateful. Many thanks. I hope this is of interest to someone.
The School House
My great great grandfather Matthew Stannett was an elementary teacher along with his wife Sarah Bush Bolton (Stannett). They lived in the school house in 1881 with their five children. Has anyone got a photo of the house or know of the Stannett family?
