Kettering Tyres Ltd
A Memory of Rushden.
I joined Kettering Tyres in Newton Road in the late sixties, as assistant to the late Cedric "Tiny" Guilford - "Tiny" was a larger than life character in every way - twenty-odd stone and with a personality to match.
The Socialist Minister for Transport , Barbara Castle, had just introduced a new law requiring tyres to have a minimum depth of tread - our problem then was not selling tyres but being able to get them in the first place - and every morning I would detour in from my home in Kettering to the company Head Office in Wellingborough to try and fill my elderly Hillman Husky estate car with whatever tyres were available!
