Take a trip down memory lane with ELEVEN nostalgic photos of how Northampton town centre used to look like.
Born and bred former Northampton town resident Marilyn Ponting has kindly shared some pictures her husband and late father in law took of the town centre.
Marilyn said: “These are photos taken by my late husband Alan Ponting in August 1989.
“We are both Northampton born and bred and left the town in 1965 but returned frequently to visit family. Alan always took pics around town but mostly they are hard to date accurately
“His father was also keen on photography and I have shared similar photos taken by him around 1966.”
