56 pictures of nativities and plays at Northampton primary schools, nurseries and colleges from nearly 20 years ago

It’s that time of year that creates magical memories for parents and families across Northampton.

Primary schools across the town will be putting on their nativity and Christmas plays in the run-up to Christmas and, in the first of a new series of retro articles by the Chronicle & Echo, we’ve taken a look into our archives to find these pictures from 2006.

They include children at pre-school, nurseries, primaries and “big schools” and are sure to bring back memories.
