Abstract/Summary
This desk-based assessment has been prepared to inform and support a planning application for alterations to the former Rockingham Box Factory on Dryden Street, Kettering, Northamptonshire. The site lies to the north of the Kettering Conservation Area, outside the medieval and post-medieval town. Dryden Street was laid out and developed in the last years of the 19th and the first years of the 20th century, on land which had formerly been agricultural: there is no evidence for any activity other than farming on the site pre-dating this phase. Portions of the site were initially developed as housing, but became subsumed into the footprint of a factory built and operated by the Kettering Co-operative Society, which was particularly strong and active in the town. Both the factory’s street frontages, on Dryden Street and Field Street, survive as initially built, and represent a significant element of the industrial and social history of Kettering.
