Thank you Adrian for the clip-on Daventry. My ancestral lineage has connections with the old Town as one of the blacksmiths(William Southorn) between 1787 till approx 1841, A large number of descendants were/are buried at the Holy Cross cemetery. My GGG grandfather immigrant to Victoria Australia, in 1845. Late my Grandfather(John Gilks S) would arrive in the Coromandel New Zealand in1892 with his elder brother (Arthur)with the Kauri Timber Company of Melbourne AU They were later followed by two younger siblings to NZ. Many of William's other children would immigrate to Canada or the USA. Adrain, You have just full in a pictorial historical background of Daventry,(Shire of Northampton, England)
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I have read a lot more about the history of the town but there is just too much information for a short clip like this. You may like to read a book called Early Daventry by A E Brown which gives a lot of information about the town in 1750's. Also Daventry past by R. L. Greenall. All best. Adrian
Well, you certainly look like Adrian Connell! Well done! I enjoyed this look back at history. Seasons greetings from Spain! Good luck in the lock down! Thanks Adrian!
Bravo Mr Connell, Daventry boy born and bred here, now a period armour specialist and composer in exile in a French forest! Ex council-house boy/ child of the Birmingham overspilll and proud of it (6 Clare Avenue). I remember climbing atop 'The Gusher' playing on 'The Witches Hat' and looking for fossils in the gravel of 'The Outdoor' car park! Bless you for this! ⚒️🇬🇧🌞 PS: Do you happen to have a photo of Trinders Toy Shop (Mid 1970's) in your collection please? One that I might be able to use in a RUclips video. EDIT: Subscribed 👍
What a shame that during your recent photographic tour you omitted the oldest surviving building in Daventry constructed circa 1450 at the top of the High Street opposite the Burton Memorial.....
Hello dawn, There is quite a lot missed out! I have been doing lots of reading about Daventry's origin but there is just too much to deal with. Which was the building you mentioned. One in Sheaf Street dates from the earlyv 1400's as well.
@@adrianconnell the earliest building in Sheaf Street is where Harper’s used to be with the Knightley’s in residence and is listed as 1500+, the Wheatsheaf 1600 on. The oldest one in Daventry is dated at circa 1450 and stands at No. 3 High Street, which is currently occupied by First Light Photographic. The second oldest is either Harpers on Sheaf Street or possibly what was the Jewel on the Square on the Market Square which dates to around 1564.
This is where I lived for four years of my life Daventry Northamptonshire was my home from1977-1981 , excellent review !!!
Thank you Adrian. Daventry is quite an incredible historical town. It certainly was fun there on the school holidays, as a child
My Nan has been living there for the last 45 years
Fascinating. Great to be able to see these pics in detail on a larger screen. The sound effects really bring it to life too. Thank you!
Thank you. You might like the Poulenc, Mouvements Perpetuel which is my favourite slide show.

The most forgettable town a pop in centre for the village people. dull
Sadly most people that go there are forced to by the Job centre, many from villages very close to Northampton.
