ABOUT
In June 2017 Rushden Historical Transport Society after four years of negotiations acquired Rushden Goods Shed from the County Council.
We have started a journey to restore the renovate the building to a Heritage Community Hub for the people of Rushden and surrounding area. We are continually improving both the structure and usage of the building.
The Committee of Rushden Historical Transport Society are pleased to announce that the redevelopment of the Goods Shed is progressing. The Goods Shed played a vital role in the socio-economic development of Rushden at the end of the 19th century allowing the town to expand through the boot and shoe industry. The building is considered to be one of the largest and finest in the area .The Society and supporters felt that it was important that the site and building should be saved as part of our local heritage.
The Society intends to develop the site and building as a Heritage Community Hub for the people of Rushden and surrounding areas. It has already been used by several local groups, as well as ourselves, for many events.
The Society would like to thank the former East Northamptonshire Council and Rushden Town Council for their support throughout the acquisition process.
