We love seeing pictures from the archive which show how our towns used to look in the days of black and white photos.
We’ve trawled through the archives once again and found some great shots taken in Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Rushden over the years.
We’ve got pictures dating back to the early 1900s and they are a brilliant snapshot of how life used to be.
Have a look through and if you recognise any of the people pictured here or one of the images brings back memories that you’d like to share, contact us at [email protected].
We’d love to hear from you!
