Northampton as it used to be: 23 photographs of Gold Street in years gone by with shops long since disappeared

Gold Street is one of the most recognised streets in Northampton town centre.

It has changed dramatically over the years and this collection of photographs from the Chronicle & Echo archives show Gold Street in arguably its heydey, the 1950s and 1960s. We have also included some photographs from nearby Marefair.
