Synopsis
A new history of this Northamptonshire town, which has too often been overlooked. The author, one of the county's foremost historians, traces the town's fortunes, from its 18th-century weaving industy. The industry faltered, and Kettering, where the Baptist Missionary Society was founded in 1792, became a centre of religious dissent. Its connection in 1857 to the railway system, on the Leicester-Hitchin line, transformed it; the footwear trade developed and blossomed, and Kettering patented the rivetting of heavy-duty boots. More recently, the town has been involved in engineering and the clothing industry. A welcome addition to the 'Past' series.

Synopsis
Greenhall came to Northamptonshire in 1960 and began writing its history. His account of the town of Kettering was inspired by adult education courses he taught for many years for the Workers' Educational Association and the University of Leicester. He focuses in turn on pre-industrial, industrial, and post-industrial eras. Distributed by The David
