Twentieth Century Club and Memories of bygone times
I was born in Northampton in 1940, and lived there until December 1953.

Northampton Town and City Memories
The buildings on the left, the west side of the Market Place, mostly survive today, apart from the two at the far left. Unlike a French market square, the south and west side of Northampton's market place in particular have a delightful informality and physical variety, with no building the same as its neighbour.
