This week, Chronicle & Echo paid a visit to Northampton town centre along with our paper's photographer, Kirsty Edmonds, to meet with independent businesses and put together the ultimate gift guide for Valentine's Day.
It was great to get out onto the High Street and see the faces behind some of our town's most prominent family-run businesses - you certainly cannot beat the quality on offer from our independent shops. There is a variety of gifts on offer handmade with love and, very importantly, sourced from local producers.
Whether that special someone in your life is a lover of artisan food, jewellery, handmade gifts, designer clothes, tasteful charcuterie boards or bouquets of rainbow coloured roses, our town centre has it all.
