Kingsthorpe FOCUS

Will your New Year’s resolution be to become more involved in the community you live in, meet new people or perhaps just try something new?

Thornton Park sometimes known as Kingsthorpe Park used to have beautiful gardens which are some fifteen acres, which lie just off the main Market Harbrough Road leaving Northampton.

The gardens are in desperate need of restoration. A new group called the Friends of Thornton Park will be holding their inaugural meeting on Friday 23 January at 7pm in the Kingsthorpe Community Centre (entrance in Mill Lane)

As part of this meeting the Friends of Thornton Park are keen to hear from anyone who remembers these delightful gardens of old, or have fond memories or photographs they would be willing to share with the group.

UPDATE

There was an excellent turnout for the meeting, and many people came forward to help the new ‘Friends’ group. Contact Christine Teulon at 54 Clarence Avenue tel 01604 711755 if you would like to help.
