Welcome to “From the Archives…”, celebrating the many wonderful images of our iconic Market House through the years.

Whether you’ve lived in Rothwell all your life (and seen most of the existing pictures in various places!) or just moved in to the area, we hope there will be something for everyone. 👌

17 March – This week’s image 📷🤳🖼
Today, we present the 14th in our series. A ‘long shot’ of the Market House showing an almost empty Market Hill/Bridge Street. Details about this week’s image are sparse – all we know is that it was taken in the 20th century and is entitled: “Market Place, Rothwell”. The familiar ‘Red Lion Public’ House sits in the background and there’s a house where cars now park freely! Note the Chequers Hotel on the right (now Tesco Express!) and for car enthusiasts, what are the vehicles? Is that an Austin 7? Perhaps that will help narrow down the date. 🤔. As always, if you have more information about this picture, let us know! Thank you! 👏👍

As many of you know, the Market House needs a major makeover. The roof is leaking and must be replaced soon, so why not help us preserve Rothwell’s most recognisable building for future generations by making a donation – Thank you! – Our Fundraising Page is HERE.

We’d like to thank Northamptonshire Archive Service
and our good friends at Rothwell Arts & Heritage Centre for their help
in collating the content for this series 😁.
