Northampton & District Model Railway Exhibition 2024
20th July 2024 Roade Village Hall, Northamptonshire.
Last years event was amazing but this years event beat was even better. With very little time on my hands, I made it my mission to capture as much as I possibly could. Greet to meet so many like-minded railway enthusiast and their amazing layouts. I finally managed to see Northampton & District model railway club's 'Northampton Castle Railway Station' layout and meet the legendary Les Pace who with many others rescued the layout from ending up in a land-fill somewhere. As always, it's a pure delight to see vintage busses touring the village provided by the legendary Northampton Transport Heritage.
Thank you to all that made this a mighty event indeed.
Next up is Wellingborough Model Railway Exhibition 4th August 2024 at Kingsway Centre, Croyland Park.

  • @Graham-p3r
    @Graham-p3r 10 днів тому

    Fantastic video, haven't seen the inside of the factory in over 25 years! Chettles was part of a UK wide animal waste group called Prosper De Mulder. Ditchford produced Feather meal which was used as an animal feed before it was banned in 2001. Thats when the site was shut down by Prosper De Mulder. The site also stored animal by products like offal which was then transported to Chettles in Nottingham which processed this waste. Other waste was transported to Prosper De Mulder in Nuneaton and Widnes. The large part of the factory you went into first was the feather storage area, and next to it was where the cookers were which produced the feather meal. The building out the back with the low roof near the odour towers stored waste water which was then sent through to a couple of settling lakes which now look massively overgrown (I'm guessing they have gone) before entering the river right at the back of the site near the weir. The old mill used to be the fitters workshop. There was a door in there which opened into the mill and you could see the water going through. I can't belive what a mess it looks down there now. We kept the grass cut all the way down to the weir, it was actually a nice walk down to the weir and then back along the backwater! The footpath was never an issue in the 1990's, even with the lorries and tractors driving around, the footpath was fully open and people just walked through.
