Victor Childs was born in Educated at His first job was at Vic had many hobbies. A great gardener, he had a very large allotment off It was at the Pensioners' Parliament where I first met Vic and he invited me to show my pictures of “Old Rushden” in 1985, and every year since then. Above all these many hobbies, he was a very enthusiastic photographer and an active member of the Rushden Camera Club, which he helped to form. He always made a photographic record of his holidays which he loved to show to many local societies. Amongst his collection were several pictures that won prizes in the club competitions. This enterprising man opened a photographic shop at 15 Church Street for a short while in the 1960s with Mr C Mallet. In 1982 Vic was invited by Wellingborough and District Camera Club to be judge of the "Slide of the Year" competiton.
