Thanks for posting. This is great to see, I grew up in Northampton but now I live in New Zealand. Brings back so many memories. Thanks.

@Meoroth12 Lucky you. I'm envious. I toyed with the idea of NZ myself, but I am too old and not skilled enough for their immigration service. I guess they thought I'd only have around 10 useful years left and then I'd want to be drawing my pension! :-D

Dear Rob,

You talk of 'Settlement'. Roman, Gaelic, Norse, English or what?

[RobNorthampton]

@TheLeeds01 The earliest Iron Age settlements date back to around 800BC, but hill forts such as the one at Hunsbury Hill in Northampton probably sprung up around 550BC, and continued up until colonisation by the Romans around 44BC.

hey thank you so much for the video, it was very interesting! i was just looking for any video to learn more about northampton and then i found this. great!

[RobNorthampton]

@yabba234 Thank you for watching, and commenting, of course, Tobias. Northampton town centre hasn't changed too much in the last three years, although the main shopping area has plans to expand, and as well as hundreds of new homes on the south side of town, there is also a new marina complex being built on the river. I really need to make a new video! :-)
