More about this scene
Said to be the largest village in Northamptonshire, Irchester now has a population of more than 5,000. It began as an agricultural community; it later developed as an industrial centre, concentrating on rush mats, lace, the quarrying of ironstone, and the manufacture of boots and shoes. Most of the local industries have now gone.
