Where I Lived

A Memory of Corby.

I came to Corby in 1966, we lived in 100a Rockingham Road, the flat above the old fire station which then became Kettering Tyres - my brother Eugene started working there at a very young age, being the tea boy. We where then moved to the old village because we were over crowded in the flat, there was ten of us all together there, but they were the best years of my life. I can still see the steel works all lighted up at night and hear the noise - it was such a shame when it closed down.
