The Wagon Wheels
The Heritage Society currently has custody of a pair of
wheels on an axil. These were found in the Stoke Road
allotments some years ago and were originally part of one
of the Trucks that carried stone from the Ironstone Quarry
down to the canal.
The Committee would like to put these on display to show
a different aspect of Blisworth’s industrial past. The
current aim is to put the display in the Conservation Area
where it will be seen by as many visitors as possible, but
also somewhere appropriate in a historical context. A
number of suggestions were made by villagers at the
Easter Egg Hunt, these include:
Triangle outside the Mill
Outside Sun, Moon and Stars
Outside School (Elm Tree Corner)
End of Greenside
Stoke Road near old track crossing
Stoke Road by Allotment entrance
Courteenhall Road
Village Gateways

If you have any more ideas
the committee would like to
hear from you.
The committee is currently discussing this informally with
SNDC to find what would be acceptable to them from a
Safety and Planning point of view. When options have been
finalised and costed, they will be presented to the Village and
formal approval sought for the prefered option
