Rushden, Market town in East Midlands, England

Located between Bedford and Northampton, Rushden extends across 9,001 acres of land with a population of 31,690 residents in North Northamptonshire.

The town experienced substantial growth during the 1890s when its population increased by 5,000 people due to the establishment of boot manufacturing industries.

The limestone-built Rushden Hall, dating from the 16th century, stands near the church in the center and features a rectangular courtyard design.

The Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre, opened in 2017, contains retail stores, dining establishments, and recreational facilities across its £140 million development.

During the industrial peak of Rushden in the mid-1900s, the town contained over 100 boot and shoe factories, with four manufacturers still operating today.
