Caption For Kettering, Montagu Street C1950

The solidly constructed tower to the right is part of the Market Hall of 1863. To the left of the Market Hall is the back of the former Court House.

The tower of St James' Church is still the original Spilsby greenstone, but the rest of the church has been faced with the stronger limestone, hence the different colour.
