Rushden Museum

Living outside the county I don't normally hear R Northants, but picked it up whilst driving up the M1 this morning and they had a feature on Rushden museum. I have to admit I didn't know such a place existed, but it sounds like it features local sport quite heavily, with the Diamonds mentioned. Does anyone supply them with information / memorabilia - and are they likely to feature our plight ?

Noddy will possibly know more about this. I know he used to be big into collecting programmes as we used to look out for him.

Yes RH I get the Rushden Transport Museum mixed up with the Rushden Museum as well.
One difference is that there's a rather nice bar selling twig beer at one but not the other ;)
