Hi rthom:
My Grandad was George Smith Hemmings and his father was Smith Hemmings (Both were as you may know -old time scrap/rag and bone men in the Green Area of Northampton) -I have a photo of Smith Hemmings with his cart/cart horse with my Grandad as a young boy--I also have a photo of Old Smith Hemmings at my Grandfathers Wedding. I do remember the "Green" at Peters Way and my Grandfather had one of his old yards at King Street next to the "Kings Arms"--which was i believe was adjacent to the Garden Of Rest -where the Saxon Hotel was then built. My Grandad died on Saturday17th March 1973--I remember it well!! Anyway...... Steve.
