All Aboard For Rushden - Fifty years ago the only means of transport from Irthlingborough station to Rushden was by this horse drawn 'bus' which ran a service several times a day, finishing its run at the Wheatsheaf Inn, where the horses were stabled. For many years Mr. F. Jeeves was the driver until he moved to Cambridge, where he died last week.
Looking with interest at the photographer was Master G. S. Gill, son of the stationmaster. Mr. Gill recently retired as postmaster at Rushden.
The picture belongs to Mr. C. H. Jeeves, of 54, Wymington Road, Rushden, son of the late Mr. F. Jeeves.
