Page 30 - Thrapston Life December 2024

7 Taken in August 1997, some of these properties have not changed today, but where are they?
8 Today, the same view is very different from how it appeared in December 1998, so where was it taken?
I trust you have a very happy Christmas and New Year. My grateful thanks to everyone who has commented on this series of local history ‘Glances’, which I hope have brought back memories to folk who have lived in the area for a long time, and also to our more recent residents, given a glimpse of how life was in days gone by.
My hope is to keep producing a monthly
‘Glance’ for as long as health allows, and I am afforded the space in Thrapston Life. Please let me have any requests for articles.
