Introduction

Having lived in London since 1945, I moved to Lincolnshire with my family in 1979 to take up a teaching job in Nottingham. Corby Glen was then a very ordinary village, some council housing and a few in-fill modern houses around older property in the centre. Except for the one in colour, all photographs were taken between 1980 & 83 before the village more than doubled in size with three new estates.
