Baxters The Butchers, Rockingham Road

A Memory of Corby.

My dad Jimmy was the local 'Baxter the butcher' for many years. I remember going to Samuel LLoyds school and going to see him to get my mince for cookery. We used to live next door to the doctor's surgery in Wensleydale Road and had all the lovely woods to play in when we were young. My grandad, Tommy Hamilton, lived in Rowlett Road so I wasn't very far from them when I went to the Infants, and was still close by when I went to the Junior School ...those were the lovely days of my youth.
