Title: West Haddon. Northampton Road.
Post by: bucksboy on Friday 26 January 18 17:04 GMT (UK)

Hi all.

Looking for images/photos of Northampton Road and houses, leading into or out of the Village, pre 1940's.

Can anyone guide me to a possible source.

Steve. :)

The Northampton Photos and Social History facebook page has at least one street view of West Haddon
There are more in Northampton Old Faces Where Are You facebook group

Thanks very much, but the FB pages/images are not very helpful.

You might like to try contacting the Discover Centre at Northampton Central Library. Researching there some years ago I found they had boxes/files of old photographs of most of the towns and villages in the county. Can’t promise they’ll have what you want but it may be worth a try.

I found an 1884 map from the Francis Frith collection, which gave me my answer.

Thanks very much for the suggestions. :)
