FROM THE RECOLLECTIONS OF ROBERT BERNARD BLACKWELL (grandson) in 1987
.........Grandad Darlow. I remember him well, often used to see him walking around the streets of Kettering on his job………I can see him now walking very straight, shoulders back, and we'd say "good morning Grandad", we were proud to address him as Grandad "good morning, m'boy" always very courteous and very nice. He was a Yorkshire man, he used to do a lot of road work and drain work in Yorkshire and he got a contract to do work for the Kettering Council and he came down there and did drains and roads and he was so satisfactory that when he finished his contract to do work for the Kettering Council offered him the job of Outdoor Overseer of all their outdoor staff. That's when we used to see him, going doing his rounds, supervising the men. He had that till the day he retired. They lived in Eden Street Kettering.............
