All Aboard for Rushden
A new project which brings together technology, history and art has launched in Rushden along the Greenway between Crown Way and the town centre.
Inspired by a real 1911 railway incident involving lost letters, you'll hunt for all of the pieces of art to get a reward. The letters will change every few months, so there will always be something new to find out about. For further information, visit http://nenescape.org/news-and-features/rushdenlaunch... Read More »
