Northampton, Drapery c.1955

More about this scene
The Drapery runs parallel to the west side of the Market Place, and was once known as the Glovery. This view was taken from the south beside All Saints' Church. There has been a fair amount of rebuilding since the 1950s, as could be expected in such a busy commercial street, but Philadelphus Jeyes survives. This splendid name is that of a chemist, who opened his shop here in 1810; he was the formulator of Jeyes Fluid, the well-known antiseptic. The shop is still a chemist's.
