Job’s Yard in Kettering
« on: Friday 26 June 09 22:42 BST (UK) »
An ancestor of mine is recorded as living the last few years of his life at Job's Yard in Kettering.

Does anyone have an image/print/old photo or whatever they are happy to share with me.

Thanks.

I am happy to reciprocate with images from Berks/Hants/Wilts.

Hi Sotonian

Have you tried contacting one of the local newspapers in Kettering, to see if they can help Wink

Hi All.

Sotonian although I was born in Kettering and return often I do not
have any photographs of the area in my collection. Sad.

My father had a small shoe factory in Ebenezeer's Place nearby.

Good suggestion of Ricky's.

Also you may like to try the Kettering Library.

The newspapers would have been the Kettering Telegraph and
Kettering Leader plus others.

This links to them.

Jobs Yard runs parallel with Dryland Street, which was formerly known as Workhouse Lane. Jobs Yard was thus at the back of the Poor Law Union Institution.
