Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph and Football Telegraph
INTRODUCTION
 |
| Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph 14 January 1947, p.1 |
Frank's work for the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph shows a sense of confidence in producing not only a weekly football gag cartoon but also additional illustration/cartoons for the main part of the paper. Bellamy's style, whilst at Blamires' Studio seems to permeate the paper in various adverts. These are unsigned, and their authorship may be debated. The studio influencing Bellamy or he influencing them?
The Evening Telegraph (in Kettering) started in 1898 and changed in 1904 to the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph until 9th April 1988 when it changed to the Kettering Evening Telegraph. A year later on 21 August 1989 it reverted to its original title of Evening Telegraph and then changed back again to Kettering Evening Telegraph in 1996 and continues today as the weekly Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph.
Therefore during the time Bellamy contributed it was called Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph Just to confuse this poor ex-Librarian further, the cartoons he committed in the N.E.T. were one thing, but he also had cartoons in the supplement the Football Telegraph - or as it was commonly known The Pink 'Un due to the colour of the pages!
Many of Bellamy's footballing cartoons contained specific repeating cartoon characters - a key follows showing the teams' nicknames:
- The Friar/Poppies = Kettering Town
- The Steelman = Corby (steel production town)
- The Doughboy(s) = Wellingborough - from the traditional local dish of 'Hock & Dough'.
- The Russian = Rushden (play on words?)
- The Cobbler = Northampton (centre of shoe manufacture in UK)
- The Hatters = Luton (centre of the English hat-making industry)
- The Skeleton = Rothwell (The club is nicknamed 'the Bones'- skeletons discovered in parish church 1700s)
- The Posh = Peterborough (see Peterborough Utd.)
- The Fenmen = Wisbech
- Ar Tarn / a water bucket = Desborough Town (who played at the Waterworks Field)
I have described images as they are so rare and also what sort of size they are in proportion to the paper - 2 cols. = spinning 2 columns of text
To differentiate the "two" papers - the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph itself and the Football Telegraph, we have listed each before the title of the individual piece
