News & Notes


When he died suddenly in 1911, William Scroxton had worked as gardener for Mr Hyde for several months. He was 'a pioneer' in starting the Flower Shows at the WMC.
The club in 2010
Standing in Griffith Street, it was originally called the Rushden Working Men's Club & College Company Ltd.

The club epitomised the Victorian concept of an education and leisure centre. It combined education with lessons in arithmetic, composition, grammar, reading and writing, together with social activities, such as music and concerts, games and sports which reflected the wide range of its members’ interests.
