New Daventry Express feature - Kilsby in spotlight as we take our first trip Down Memory Lane

Kilsby then. Picture supplied by Peter Kay.

We've been speaking to well-known former Kilsby resident Peter Kay in the first of our new series of Down Memory Lane features.

The first in our 'then and now' photographs shows Chapel Street in Kilsby, just off the Main Street that runs towards Hillmorton and Rugby.

Peter, who supplied the pictures for this week, said: "The other photographs show when Kilsby and Crick had a railway station, pre-slasher Beeching. "Pictured is the last Station Master, Mr Harry Fretter, who lived at 1 Rugby Road. He was a Great War Captain who I think served in the DLI. I’m guessing it's the winter of 1947, but I'm not sure."

Peter grew up in Kilsby and lived in three different houses in the village from 1954-71. His parents lived there all their lives.

We'd love to see your own photographs of Daventry and the surrounding villages and the people who have lived here in the past.

They don't have to be really old photographs, let's see what you've got!

Please include all the information about when and where they were taken, who is in the picture and, where appropriate, what they are doing now.

If you have any more information about the photos included in this column, please email [email protected].
