Taken from our archives and our nostalgia books, Looking Back, produced by former assistant editor of the Chronicle & Echo, Peter Clarke, we’ve put together a gallery of photographs of some of the town’s most iconic buildings.
All the pictures were taken from our collection of glass negatives. Many of those negatives were left uncaptioned and, over the years, Peter put together information about the pictures with the help of readers. West Northamptonshire Council now looks after the collection of glass negatives.
If you have any memories of our town’s old buildings, or have photographs of Northampton in the past that you would like to share, send them to us using our online portal, Your World.
