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.

Heritage & History - Visit Norfolk, England
Norfolk is a treasure house of stately homes, legacies of the wool trade and agricultural revolution when Norfolk was the wealthiest county in the country and Norwich second in importance only to London. Beginning with prehistory and ancient history, you'll find Roman forts, more Saxon round-towered churches than anywhere else, castles and a towering cathedral made by the Norman Conquerors, and the Royal Family's country home. Norwich is the best preserved medieval city in northern Europe and you'll not tire of wandering the wonderful cobbled streets and alleys.

Places to see in ( Rochester - UK )
Rochester is a town and historic city in the unitary authority of Medway in Kent, England. Rochester is at the lowest bridging point of the River Medway about 30 miles from London.
Rochester was for many years a favourite of Charles Dickens, who owned nearby Gads Hill Place, Higham, basing many of his novels on the area. The Diocese of Rochester, the second oldest in England, is centred on Rochester Cathedral and was responsible for the founding of a school, now The King's School in 604 AD, which is recognised as being the second oldest continuously running school in the world.
Rochester Castle, built by Bishop Gundulf of Rochester, has one of the best preserved keeps in either England or France, and during the First Barons' War (1215–1217) in King John's reign, baronial forces captured the castle from Archbishop Stephen Langton and held it against the king, who then besieged it.
Rochester and its neighbours, Chatham and Gillingham, Strood and a number of outlying villages form a single large urban area known as the Medway Towns. These places nowadays make up the Medway Unitary Authority area. It was, until 1998, under the control of Kent County Council and is still part of the ceremonial county of Kent, under the latest Lieutenancies Act.
Rochester lies within the area, known to geologists, as the London Basin. The low-lying Hoo peninsula to the north of the town consists of London Clay, and the alluvium brought down by the two rivers—the Thames and the Medway—whose confluence is in this area. The land rises from the river, and being on the dip slope of the North Downs, this consists of chalk surmounted by the Blackheath Beds of sand and gravel.
Rochester comprises numerous important historic buildings, the most prominent of which are the Guildhall, the Corn Exchange, Restoration House, Eastgate House, as well as Rochester Castle and Rochester Cathedral. Many of the town centre's old buildings date from as early as the 14th century up to the 18th century. The chapel of St Bartholomew's Hospital dates from the ancient priory hospital's foundation in 1078.
A new Huguenot Museum, which includes items from the collections of the French Hospital, was opened in Rochester on 13 May 2015, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and individual donations. Since 1980 the city has seen the revival of the historic Rochester Jack-in-the-Green May Day dancing chimney sweeps tradition, which had died out in the early 1900s.
Rochester is on the A2, which crosses the Medway at Rochester Bridge – the route roughly follows the ancient road known as Watling Street. Rochester railway station is on the Chatham Main Line and the North Kent Line. Rochester Airport began in September 1933 when Rochester City Council purchased some land as the site for a municipal airport.

Views Around Rochester, Kent, England - 3rd June, 2014
Rochester is a town and former city in the unitary authority of Medway in South East England. It is at the lowest bridging point of the River Medway about 30 miles (48 km) from London. The town was for many years the favourite of Charles Dickens, who lived nearby at Gads Hill Place, Higham, and who based many of his novels in the area.
This film features views around the town of Rochester in Kent, England on a walk from the River Medway bank on the Strood side of Rochester Bridge, across the bridge, with extensive views of the River Medway, Rochester Bridge and Rochester Castle. From here the walk goes down the High Street taking in the sights of the Guildhall Museum, Boley Hill and Rochester Cathedral.
This is a lovely historic town, only a short train ride away from London, and I would recommend it to other travellers.

Old Ship Church. The oldest Church in America Continuously used for worship
One of the oldest continuously used churches in the United States is the Old Ship Church in Hingham, Mass. It gets that qualification as I am sure there are in fact OLDER Churches in the US However, most are not still being used or have been continuously used. Regardless of the limitation you might think they are putting on it, This Church, holds a special place in my heart - a great memory of my childhood, having fun playing in the pews as a boy I a huge building full of forts! Awesome, right!!!??
Hope you enjoy.

British Rail Purfleet March 1986
Another vid from my early filming days now, Purfleet Station filmed on 19 march 1986. Here we see a mix of passenger & freight traffic with classes 08, 47, 56, 59 & 302s. The class 59's hadn't long been introduced (reason for my trip out) and you can see the GM techie guys in the rear cab of the loco. Note that when delivered the original four were all un-named. There was still a lot of oil traffic around then and Purfleet even had a Gronk out-stationed from Stratford to shunt rakes of wagons as seen here. The passenger service was in the hands of the long serving class 302 EMUs. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

Views from a drive from Cookridge in North West Leeds to Brampton in South East Barnsley, West & South Yorkshire, England - 13th August, 2016.
I have recently invested in a Veho Muvi K2 Camera (an action / sports cam, which looks and acts like a Go-Pro for half the price). Along with the camera I purchased a suction windscreen mount, in order to experiment with the type of films that I would be able to make I have made several driving films, and this is the first of them.
The footage has been edited in iMovie on an iPad Pro and speeded up four times, the film has been dubbed with some looped audio footage that was taken along the M621.
