We’ve uncovered some fascinating photos from the archive which show how our towns used to look.
This week we’re looking at Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden and Thrapston – black and white snapshots of the past.
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!
