Summary
| Description |
English: Bryn Hafod - Charles Wicksteeds house This house belonged to Charles Wicksteed benefactor to the town of Kettering. It was last used as an annex to a Nunnery and is now scheduled for re-development. Charles Wicksteed conceived and developed the famous Wicksteed Park of Kettering which is still very popular today and is held for the town through a charitable trust. Originally he was a steam ploughing contractor who came to Kettering and set up an engineering factory in Digby Street. After the Great War he branched out into the manufacture of metal playground equipment and became the largest maker in Europe. The equipment that most of us played on as youngsters would have been made by his company. The name of the house means Summer Dwelling Hill and acknowledges his younger days in Wales where his family lived at Upper Eyarth (nr Ruthin) and later at Hafod y Coed Farm (Tremeirchion) in the Vale of Clwyd, North Wales. |
