Northampton Walk: Town Centre【4K】 

Northampton is the county town of Northamptonshire in England's East Midlands region.
Its history goes back at least as far as Norman times when it was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) as 'Northantone'. Northampton had a castle built around this time, which was partially demolished in 1662 by order of Charles II as retribution for the town's support of the parliamentarian Roundheads during the Civil War.
Just years later, in 1675, the Great Fire of Northampton struck, destroying most of the historic buildings in the centre.
Northampton developed as an industrial town in the 19th century with the construction of the Grand Union Canal linking London to Birmingham, in this case via the Northampton Arm. Its industry was primarily footwear and leather manufacture.
There are a number of sporting teams in the town including Northampton Saints (rugby union), Northamptonshire County Cricket Club, who play in the town, and of course, Northampton Town Football Club. Cobblers! (no, it's true)
The walk takes place around the town centre. Along the way we see All Saints' Church, which was built after the Great Fire of 1675. We also see the Northampton Guildhall, which was completed in 1864 in the Gothic Revival style.
