Rushden - The Early Years
Here is a selection of photos from my Mum and Dad's collection, charting my early years in Rushden. I hope to supplement this with other photos in due course.

|
| 20 days old - taken 4 August 1966 at 30 Moor Road. | 15 July 1967 - First birthday with Nanny and Grampy Buckby. | |
|
|
|
| 17 July 1967 - in the garden of 113 St. Margaret's Avenue with Auntie Marian. | Christmas Day 1967 at 30 Moor Road. Note the "phonogram" in the background. | |
|
|
|
| "Penny" in the snow at 113 St. Margaret's Avenue, January 1968. Little did I know that 20 years later I would meet my sister-in-law, who is also called "Penny". | I think this picture was taken in the "Sand Pits" behind St. Margaret's Avenue, a part of Rushden that has succumbed to the inevitable housing development in recent years. What sartorial elegance and mighty physique. | |
|
|
|
| In the garden at St.Margaret's Avenue, 20 June 1968. You can just make out the spire of St. Mary's Church behind the fence. | In the garden again at St.Margaret's Avenue, date unknown, Mum and Dad looking on. The houses in the background are Hall Avenue, and behind them are the trees in Hall Park. | |
|
|
|
| Another picture in the snow at 30 Moor Road. | With Mum, July 1970, 30 Moor Road. | |
|
|
|
| In the garden at St. Margaret's Avenue, date unknown. | In the back garden at 30 Moor Road, with "Sherry". The house in the background is in Station Road. | |
