Take a look back at a collection of 23 incredibly retro and nostalgic photos of Northampton town centre dating back to the 1930s.
Resident Raymond James Carter has been kind enough to share archived photos of the town which he regularly publishes on community Facebook page ‘Pictures of Northampton old and new’.
The Facebook group is all about nostalgia and invites people to connect, share memories and photos of times they have had in our town.
Photos in this gallery include a snowed under Bridge Street, iconic tram journeys, the old Corn Exchange, and much more.
Click through our gallery and see how many areas of the town you recognise. All locations provided have been provided by the Pictures of Northampton old and new Facebook page.
