John Drage & Son, boot & shoe manufacturer, was established in 1861 and their factory shown here at Hope Street in Bozeat was built and extended in the early 20th century. The factory closed to shoe making in 1978. The Drage 'Honest John' logo, shaped like a huge boot, first appeared on the end wall in 1932 and was re-painted in 2000.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Bozeat has a reasonable sized playing field on the eastern side of the village set amongst fields. It also includes a good variety of children's play equipment including this selected feature that looks like an alien being. Glebe Farm on the Harrold Road is visible in the background to the right.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Warnings at the field entrances state 'Beware of the Bull' - hence a slight deviation from the herd off the nearby public footpath! This view from an old hedgeline looks towards the centre of Bozeat village with its church spire visible in the background. The East and Spring Hill Farms are nearest camera.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This is a view of London Road, Bozeat, looking south. This was a busy main route through the village, including traffic heading between Wellingborough and the M1, until the village was eventually given a bypass that was officially opened on 1st February 1989.

Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>This field or close, called Towns End, has very evident Ridge and Furrow markings over the whole of its area, though it is less obvious here in the bright sunshine. Just visible in the distance is Three Fields Farm on the Harrold Road east of Bozeat village.

Dist:1.3km southeast<br/>The public footpath connects the Three Shire Bridleway (behind camera) with Bozeat and heads here across the field to the far corner, directly in line with the Bozeat church spire of St Mary's visible ahead.

Dist:1.3km south<br/>This view looking to the southeast is from the London Road leading south out of Bozeat. The owner is a keen wildlife conservationist, partly evidenced by the wide field margins around the ploughed field.
