Flats on Barrack Road, Northampton
Northampton is one of the larger towns in Britain to lack a bypass so all traffic heading from the south beyond is forced in and out of the centre along the A509. Oddly it is rarely congested but this is more from luck than judgement.

Alas my memory of it is not a happy one. I used to pass it daily on the No.24 or 25 bus on my way to school in Abington Street, Northampton. I always rode on the upper deck for a better view. So also did a bunch of women who worked at the shoe factory. It was a cardinal sin for me and my fellow pupils not to wear the school hat, and unfortunately it identified us a pupils of what they called the "posh school". I couldn't wait for them to get off: they spent their entire journey jeering and mocking and hurling insults at me. I could have gone downstairs to the lower deck but I would not be bullied by them so I stayed.
Ironically their factory survives, but my beautiful (but then much hated by me) gothic Notre Dame High School was pulled down and replaced by shops.
