An entertainment by Graham Padden based on reminiscences of the "old Boroughs" of Northampton. This is the story of a lost community - a community at work and play, in sickness and health, in love and out of it. Probably the oldest part of the town, the Boroughs were demolished before the war. "It were a real community, the Boroughs. Everyone seemed to know each other. If you didn't have a crust and they'd got one, they'd break it and give it to you." Producer John Knight Stereo
