The city of Northampton is a large and commercial city par excellence, and is considered by many to be the largest city in England after London. Many, many years ago it was a well-known manufacturing centre for footwear and some leather related industries and although these industries are still existing today, the degree of importance has diminished thanks to the engineering, financial and distribution sectors.

In the past, the city went through difficult events such as the destruction of the city walls and castle by Charles II during the Civil War and a raging fire in 1675, both of which strengthened it to become the great city it is today. The growth of the city increased from the day the Grand Union Canal arrived in 1815 and after the arrival of the railway in the 1930s, the city became the city's main tourist attraction.
