Raunds Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Northamptonshire, and around 20 miles southwest of Peterborough, is the town of Raunds.
The recorded history of Raunds dates back to the 10th century. Its name is believed to have derived from the Anglo-Saxon word 'rand', meaning 'edge' or 'border'. At the heart of Raunds is St Peter's Church, which was built between the 12th and 14th centuries, and is Grade I listed.
For centuries, the main industry in Raunds was boot and shoemaking. In 1905, following a dispute over wages, bootmakers who provided footwear for the British Army went on strike. Since the end of the Second Boer War in 1902, demand for army boots had fallen, and with it came a drop in wages. After the strike of 1905 proved unsuccessful, a local councillor organised a march of 115 men representing a regular army unit to highlight the plight of the bootmakers. From Raunds they marched all the way to London where they were greeted by a crowd of around 10,000 at Hyde Park. On their return home, a crowd of around 5,000 turned up at The Square in Raunds - which was larger than the entire population of the town at the time.
The impact of the Raunds March remains a matter of debate. Negotiations between the War Office and the unions that followed resulted in the setting up of the Board of Conciliation and Arbitration, which helped reduce future price fluctuations. On the 100th anniversary of the march in 2005, a re-enactment took place featuring 115 locals dressed in the clothes of the time. This march, however, only got as far as the outskirts of Raunds.
Between 1866 and 1959, a railway station served Raunds. It was situated on the Kettering, Thrapston and Huntingdon Railway at around the midpoint between the western terminus at Kettering and the eastern terminus at Huntingdon. Today the main public transport connection to and from Raunds is a bus route between the town and Northampton.
Broadcaster David Frost spent part of his childhood in Raunds.

Belper Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Derbyshire, and around eight miles north of Derby, is the town of Belper.
Geographically Belper is situated on the east bank of the River Derwent, just southeast of the Peak District. Its name is believed to be a corruption of 'Beaurepaire', meaning beautiful retreat in French - the name given to a hunting lodge, the first record being a charter of 1231.
From as early as the 12th century, Belper became a centre for nail making. This was made possible by the existence of ironstone and coal in the surrounding Derbyshire landscape. By the late 18th century there were around 500 nailers' workshops in the town. With the coming of the Industrial Revolution, nail making declined and a new industry emerged in Belper - cotton.
Belper became one of the first 'mill towns'. This came about when local industrialist Jedediah Strutt built a water-powered cotton mill, first at the neighbouring village of Cromford, then at Belper. The Strutt family were significant benefactors of the town for around 150 years, providing for their workers' employment, housing and education. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the population of Belper was around 800. By the 1830s, this had risen to around 8,000.
In 1840 the railway arrived in Belper as part of the Derwent Valley line. In its heyday this line provided a direct route from Derby to Manchester via the Peak District. However, in 1968 the line was severed past Matlock due to government cutbacks, with the aforementioned becoming the northern terminus. The entrance to Belper station is rather inconspicuous as it is hidden behind an alleyway beside Poundland.
Whilst the textile industry in Belper has long since declined, its legacy remains. The East Mill, constructed in the 1910s, has been repurposed as an electricity generator, harnessing power from the River Derwent. This features from around the 15-minute mark in the walk.
Welsh-born actor Timothy Dalton was raised in Belper.
