Rushden Echo Friday, Oct 10, 1947, transcribed by Sue Manton
Remember the old-fashioned moving picture machines which flicked over pictures printed on cards and brought them to life? We’re going to look at one today, but it will have just this difference it will bring something of our own past to life.
This morning, the five weekly papers of the Northamptonshire Printing and Publishing Company extend good wishes to their big brother, the “Evening Telegraph” in its golden jubilee week.
And from its files we have borrowed just a few of the interesting pictures that recall the chief events of the half century.
They are the leaves of the moving picture machine as you look at them they will bring back the incidents and people they show, but will recapture more. Each one will start up a train of thought that will take you mind back over the years to remember not only the momentous events but personal happenings linked with them.
Most of these historic pictures you will find on the centre pages but there are others elsewhere in the paper each tying up with something memorable in the years since Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.
In the half century of files there are tens of thousands of pictures a huge photographic exhibition in themselves but 1947 paper limits allow us to publish only a few. We have chosen some outstanding ones, and with them the moving picture machine is ready to bring back its memories. So ....... Over to the centre pages.
