How Northampton used to be: The faces, fashion, dances and events of the Swinging Sixties

It was a decade like no other and the photographers at the Chronicle & Echo were there to capture just some of the moments.

We’ve taken a look in our archives for pictures from the Swinging Sixties and come up with some cracking photographs.

All the pictures are from our glass plate collection and some of the captions are a little vague. If they bring back memories for you, please email [email protected]
