Image: © John Brightley collection Taken: Unknown
An interesting scene with old buses, cars and road signs. The portico of All Saints Church can be seen on the right. Much of this area is now pedestrianised. The approximate date of 1968 is a best guess based on the cars and information on other slides which were in the same set. If you can date the image more accurately please let me know. For a view on the same date looking in the opposite direction see Image] For a similar view from the Francis Frith collection taken in 1955 see http://www.francisfrith.com/northampton/photos/gold-street-c1955_N40057/
