The high causeway in about 1900

The Wellingborough News, Friday October 27th 1916 Rushden Death-trap - The High-street South Causeway The drop from the top to the roadway varies from four to six feet and the edge is entirely unprotected. With the dark nights and unlighted streets the place is a positive death trap, and the Council should make more persistent efforts to have the place fenced. There have been several serious accidents at the place including one in which a resident, who knew the spot well, was involved.
