Islands for sale by auction
Potton and Rushley go under the hammer
By Brian Pettitt
I was researching in the Library when I came across a notice advising of the sale of land on Rushley and Potton Islands – that wasn’t very exciting but in the pictorial they showed a couple of images that I have extracted on JPEG and attached. I suspect there are not too many known images of the islands when they were inhabited so I thought I would extract them and see whether we can get any comments on them. They were up for sale in Spring 1926. The images aren’t fantastic but they are better than nothing. I may send them to my pal Neil Threadgold and see whether his dad has any stories to tell as he farms out there.
