Northamptonshire has witnessed a great many events and incidents, some
of national importance, others of purely local significance. What is
common to practically all of them, however, is that they have either
been forgotten, discarded, or hidden away - sometimes deliberately -
victims of time and progress, as lifestyles and customs have changed.
Similarly, many features of the countryside and village streets have
been left to erode, rust or become enveloped in foliage, yet they are
still there tucked away out of view, rare relics of a bygone age. This
book aims to raise awareness of their existence and bring them to life
once again - a diverse, colourful range of features from the past that
make up Secret Northamptonshire.
