'Houses at Ironbridge,' was one of the final paintings Edward Bawden made on a trip to the town in 1956. He had been joined for around six weeks by John Aldridge, John Nash and Carel Weight. Each of them taking it in turns to paint a view of the bridge.

It will surprise precisely *no one* that Reform-led West Northants Council is amongst the worst in the country for potholes.
Despite a record £7.3 billion being given by this Labour Govt to local authorities for roads.
