Rushden Echo, 12th September 1924, transcribed by Kay Collins
The Empire Exhibition at Wembley was visited on Saturday by 84 members, staff, and employees of the firm Messrs. W. H. Davison & Co. Ltd. Mr W Taylor and Mr J Foster had made excellent arrangements, which worked very smoothly. The trippers left Rushden by 'bus for Wellingborough Midland station, catching the 6.30a.m. train, and arriving in Wembley station at 8.15. Each member of the party made his own arrangements for lunch and tea. A very enjoyable day was spent in the exhibition, and, leaving St. Pancras at 12.10 and travelling from Wellingborough by 'bus, the party reach Rushden at 3.10a.m. The firm made a good contribution to the cost of the outing.
