Flashback to years gone by

THIS week’s Flashback photograph was brought in by Jean Cockerill who lives in Daventry. The picture is from a postcard and Mrs Cockerill believes the scene is of Brook Street in the town. Unfortunately, she is unable to name any of those featured in the photograph, but the vehicle on the left of the picture is from the Daventry Autocar Company in Sheaf Street.

Can you shed any light on these other photographs which give an interesting insight into the town's past.

Can you put a name to any of these faces



These distinguished gents seem to have been on a coach trip and are finding time to pose for the camera. Can you add any more details for the photograph?



Can you shed any light on who this football team might be?



This is a step down memory lane for our Daventry readers who might know more details to go with this photograph.



A look back at school days...but can anyone tell us more about the school or the youngsters featured in this school snap?
