The lockdown is slowly easing off after three months - and there are a lot of independent shops in Northampton that need the public's support again.
The Chronicle & Echo has been campaigning to remind shoppers to get out and support the town's businesses now they have the chance to open their doors again.
Here are the nine highest-rated independent shops in Northampton as ranked on Google Reviews that have reopened in the past week and are happy to see customers again.

You can't miss Vintage Retreat or its distinctive elephant on the roof.

7. Styles of London - Abington Street

8. Vintage Guru, St Giles Street
Vintage Guru reopened last Monday (June 15) to a queue of happy customers outside their store.
