Seventeen cottages stood in Park Place 1910, but only three survive and they are numbered 16, 17, and 18. It is unclear which was the missing one when they were listed in 1910.

Three cottages in Park Place - 16 - 17 - 18

A footpath from the Old Rectory in Little Street ran by South Terrace (now long gone), behind cottages at the foot of Crabb Street, across Co-operative Row, into Griffith Street, and across to a path to the rear of the Wheatsheaf Inn and the Church, and these cottages.

In 1895 a factory at Park Road end was built for A E & G Barwick, later taken over by the Rushden Heel Company, established by William Childs.

Foreground centre - two bays of the factory built in Park Place. William Childs lived at 4 Griffith Street (far right towards top).

When Park Place cottages were demolished in the 1920s, a road was made giving access to the rear of Griffith Street gardens and some built garages. When John White's Factory, fronting Newton Road was demolished in the 1990s Risdene Court was built, and a new row of houses was built in Park Place.
