Rushden Echo, 10th August 1917, transcribed by Peter Brown
THE FIRST OUTING of the committee of the Rushden Industrial Co-operative Society took place on Wednesday, when they journeyed in brakes supplied by Mr Asher Abbott via Turvey to Bedford. A stop of about an hour-and-a-half was made at Turvey for luncheon, which was served in the garden of the Three Cranes Hotel. Subsequently, the church and other places of interest in the village were visited. “Jonah” getting his share of the visitors’ attention. The journey was then resumed, Bunyan’s Town being reached about 3pm. Unfortunately the remainder of the day was spoilt by a torrential down-pour of rain, which made outdoor amusements an impossibility, but both entertainment and shelter were provided by the picture palaces and Arcade. Owing to the inclement weather, several of the members of the party decided to journey home by train, and the others, leaving Bedford at 7.30pm, reached Rushden at 10.30. The expenses of the trip were defrayed individually.
