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. 👌

24 March – This week’s image 📷🤳🖼
Today, it’s the 15th in our weekly series. This is a break from the usual photograph and has been sent to us by regular supporter of the Trust and ex-Rowellian, Richard Dimbleby. The plate was purchased around 30 years ago at the Old Fire Station (some of you will remember it when it was a Gift Shop). There is sticker on the back saying it is ‘hand thrown by Jane Edwards’ but we don’t know much about Jane and her pottery talents.
Richard previously sent us another unusual item back in January – a paperweight featuring the Market House – see it HERE.

🤔. 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 😁.
