Geocache Description:

This is a magnetic nano. Take care the cache is over looked and Muggles can walk or drive round the corner at any time. The cache can be accessed from the normal footpath on this part of Back Lane..

This is second of a series of caches planed for the village and parish of Brigstock it is on a building called in the village as The Matchbox. John Linnell was born at Burton Latimer and was an apprentice to William Toller in Market Street, Kettering before moving to Manchester to obtain experience in warehouse work. In 1856, he returned to Kettering and entered the firm of Wallis & Co., becoming Frederick Wallis's partner when William Toller left. The business then became known as Wallis & Linnell. The business soon expanded and a warehouse was opened in Birmingham, which became the firm's headquarters. Clothes made in the Kettering factory were sent to Birmingham to be sold. However, when Frederick Wallis died in 1885, John Linnell decided to centralise the business in Kettering and the Birmingham warehouse was closed. A fire at School Lane in 1864 seriously destroyed much of the factory, but enabled the premises to be rebuilt and considerably extended. Many extensions have been carried out at School Lane until the factory's closure in 1977. A number of village factories were also opened over the years. One of the first opened in Brigstock in 1873. In later years is has been an architect’s offices. Well done to Simplysup for FTF
