| − | Northampton has a fine museum dedicated to the history of the boot & shoe industry which is well worth a visit. Much of the shoemaking industry is now gone, making way for modern day employment, such as Barclaycard. Other large employers- Avon Cosmetics and Express Lifts are also sadly gone and provided much needed employment for the town.
