Extract from obituary ......... Mr. J. E. Smith had a schoolroom built for Mrs. Smith on the Wellingborough-road, Rushden, and it was there that the well-known Kindergarten school was begun. Mrs. Smith worked up an excellent institution, and afterwards moved to the Kindergarten school, Moor-road, having been Principal for over 20 years. During her illness the school has been conducted by Mrs. Westley, a former pupil.

Mr & Mrs Smith lived at 204 Wellingborough Road, before moving to 22 Church Street.

2022 - Jack and Jill Day Nursery is now occupying what was Moor Road School then Youth Club. I went to give my first blood donation in the mid 1970’s, every time after that, when waiting I would recite to myself the immortal words from Tony Hancock’s the “Blood donor”. When not donating blood there, it was our local polling station, after that it moved a couple of times to Highfield Road. Now I vote by postal vote. Paul Wright
