Bozeat, The Chequers c.1955

More about this scene
Bozeat, now by-passed by the A609, has since regained some of its tranquillity. Boot and shoe manufacturing led to the expansion of the village in the late 19th century, as it did in many Northamptonshire villages in this area. This view on the London Road reflects the changes brought about by the by-pass. The Chequers ceased to be a pub, although traces of the painted signs on the front wall can still be seen. The thatched cottage next to it has gone also, although bits have been retained as a garden wall.
