The Kettering Town Preservation Society will be focusing highly on this building during 2015. We are disgusted at the neglect and lack of interest shown by the Kettering Borough Council. It is falling into a state of disrepair, unsafe in places. A campaign will commence in January.... 1878 in Jacobean style. Formerly The White Hart Hotel, where Queen Victoria stayed 1844. Red brick, stone dressings, Dutch gabled Welsh slated roof behind cornice and parapet. 3 storeys, rusticated quoins. Semi-circular bow window left of centre. Porch on right with Ionic pilasters. Charles Dickens stayed in this hotel, 1835, as reporter for the Morning Chronicle covering the Northamptonshire elections. Owned by the Duke of Buccleuch until 1896. Included partly for historical interest.
