The Rushden Years de Steven Bennett

The Rushden Years

Steven Bennett

This book is a brief memory of my life between the years 1975 and 1995 in Rushden, Northamptonshire. It is open and frank and talks about the happiness and the heartbreak during this time. Life can make you feel great and it can make you feel dejected and miserable. Like most people I have had plenty of both in my life. In some parts of the book it felt like life wasn't worth living but fortunately we can climb back up and start again. When the same thing happened again, I wondered how I'd be able to go on? This is the second book about my life, the first one From Zero to Eighteen in Hayes, is about my childhood and how things were back then in Hayes, West London.

This is the second biographical book that is a part of my life story. It starts as I move to Rushden after dramatic changes to my life at 17 years of age, which is part of my first book, From Zero to Eighteen in Hayes. Contributor Notes (402 / 2500) I began a new life in Rushden in 1975 following the death of both my parents within 6 months, just a year before this! I was married at 18 and moved to Rushden shortly afterwards. I worked initially in the old shoe factories and tanneries initially before starting a job in the building trade. I met many of the old characters in both of these roles, many of them had served in the second world war.
