Rushden is a town and civil parish located in the county of Northamptonshire, England. The parish of Rushden covers an area of some 9,000 acres, and is part of the district of East Northamptonshire. The Rushden-Higham urban area, which includes the adjoining town of Higham Ferrers, has an estimated population of 36,410.
ushden lies on the A6 midway between Bedford and Kettering. The southern limits of the town border on the county of Bedfordshire, and to its north lies the River Nene (locally pronounced Nen) which flows into The Wash. Rushden lies in a small valley, with a stream or brook known as Sidney Brook flowing through the centre of the town. During the late 1960s and 70s this stream was culverted to prevent flash flooding. From whichever way Rushden is approached, the streets and roads can be seen stretching out in the valley, with the spire of St Mary's church prominent above its rooftops.
Rushden's growth has resulted from a number of industries, including lacemaking and farming, and especially shoemaking and associated trades. In the mid-1900s there were well over 100 boot and shoe factories in Rushden but today there are only four shoemaking companies left in Rushden .
The former Rushden railway station is now owned by the Rushden Historical Transport Society, which operates a museum and real ale bar. The society often holds special events, including an annual 3-day transport cavalcade. The society aims to rebuild the branch line from Higham Ferrers to Wellingborough. There is also a privately owned museum in Rushden which is situated in the town's Hall Park. It is open between the months of May and October.
Rushden Hall is the oldest domestic building in the town, once owned by many families throughout the years including the Sartoris family and the Pembertons family. The hall now functions as the head office of the town council and some rooms are available for hiring. It lies in 32 acres (13 ha) of land which now is a public park (Hall Park).
At present, Rushden is one of the largest towns in the country without an operational railway station. However, there are proposals by The Association of Train Operating Companies to build a new railway station on the Midland Main Line (to the West of Rushden) to be known as Rushden Parkway. In terms of roads, Rushden is bypassed by the A6 which has connections to Kettering (Northbound) and Bedford and Luton (Southbound). The A45 connects Rushden to the East coast as well as Northampton and the M1 motorway westbound.

360 from St.Peter's Church Tower Irthlingborough UK
Filmed today during their open day.
The Church dates back to Saxon times so has a long history. A little research will find you loads of info.
From the top you are around 90 Feet above the base though the Church is located in one of the lowest part of the town.
As you can see there are some interesting views to be seen. Also on a clear day you can see the towers of 7 other Churches though today only 5 were clearly visible.
I've left the natural sound as you can hear the guide explaining some of the above.
The large cleared area you see is where Express Works used to be which is featured in another video after a local set it ablaze .

Exploring an Abandoned Hospital. (Haunted?)
In March 2014, Lucky and B-DOT explored the now abandoned St. Crispins Mental Asylum in Duston, near Northampton, England. There was also a huge utility tunnel network under the ward blocks but our cameras could not take photos due to the lighting conditions. We climbed the clock tower (Photos near to the end.) which is way above 100ft. We did this without any sort of safety equipment because were poor and stupid. I hope you enjoyed our photo collection. We shall be taking videos the next time we go.
