Jubilee Park
The Rushden Echo and Argus, 5th September, 1941, tranmscribed by Jim Hollis

Rushden Parks to Produce Food

Eight acres of land in Jubilee Park, Rushden, have been ploughed up in order to increase food production in the county. The swings and other amusements in the Park are, however, to be spared. The ploughing up has been done at the request of the County War Agricultural Committee and next year the land will be producing crops, - probably potatoes. Other land belonging to the Urban Council which is being ploughed up includes a plot in the Hall Grounds, the cemetery field and land surrounding housing estates.
