How Northampton used to be: 39 pictures of the town centre in years gone by

And these photographs from the Chronicle & Echo’s archive give a fascinating insight into how it used to be. Images taken by our photographers in the 1960s and 1970s, with a few from the 1950s, show how Abington Street, Welly Road, Bridge Street and others used to look...and of course, Market Square.
