Bell And Billows
A Memory of Kettering.
During the mid-sixties I worked for Bell and Billows, the ironmongers in the left of the picture.
A large part of their business was horticultural equipment, and many spring and summer evenings were spent demonstrating mowers and cultivators to prospective purchasers.
Sales and repairs of sporting weapons were also undertaken, and I recall the famous local Author, Artist and Naturalist Denys Watkins-Pitchford, (who wrote under the pseudonym BB), came in with a pair of double-barrelled shotguns for repair.....He had walked the length of the High Street with one under each arm....Imagine how that would go down in this day and age!
