Seddons and Arlidge Ltd
Cardboard Box Makers

The company was based in Kettering, and opened a branch in Rushden around 1906.
The factory ceased trading in January 1970 when 22 employees lost their jobs, but most found work with
the other box factory in Rushden, H W Chapman Ltd. The building was demolished in about 1988.
All boarded up!
