The Kettering Timeline
By Clare Wood
The Kettering Timeline
What is it?
Inscribed in Granite, a line of paving in the new Market Square in central Kettering was created to carry text and pictures describing the development of Kettering through the ages. It aims to be a "Timeline" of the town, developed by the people of the town, and all ideas are welcome.
Why was it made?
This public art and local history project was created as a unique feature in the town's new Market Place and the Kettering Timeline aims to promote a greater sense of Kettering 's history as the town moves forward into the 21st Century and beyond!
What do you think should go on it?
The slabs already feature a range of notable local events and people, through the ages.
As we move on into the future, what else (new or old), do you feel the timeline should feature?
Suggestions could include:-
- Major events through the ages that impacted the town
- Community events that were significant for Kettering
- People from Kettering that have left a mark, both nationally and locally
- Products, buildings, places, ideas and people from Kettering that influenced the development of the town
