Note the island in the road was fenced - this is where the
Rushden Century Cycle Club met to go on their first run in 1934

Danger of flooding is being obviated by the laying of a 12-inch storm relief and foul sewer in Washbrook Road, Rushden. There is only a nine inch sewer at present, and overloading has occurred after heavy storms. At a cost of about £2,500 the additional pipe will be laid in a trench varying from four to seven feet in
depth and extending from the foot of Hayway to the main outfall sewer at
the bridge near Spencer Park, where the picture was taken this week.
