More about this scene

Tomlinson's Stores is now the premises of Age Concern, and Goss Bros is now a tea shop. The White Hart on the right of Thrapston High Street closed in 1970, and was later demolished to make way for a new library and fire station. Some old stone houses remain, and nearby is a scenic stretch of the River Nene.

My Farther owned Tomlinson's store and I grew up working there with my sister all through the war.
My aunt and uncle Ho adopted me in 1963, used to run the shop on Charles St for John Petch. If anyone can remember me or has any photos of Thrapston in the sixties I would love to hear from you. dennis.taylor 54@yahoo.com
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.
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.
