TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Northampton: 78 Derngate is the real hidden gem here. From the street it looks fairly unassuming, but inside is one of the most distinctive interiors Charles Rennie Mackintosh ever created, packed into a narrow Georgian house. Northampton’s shoemaking heritage is also worth paying attention to, because it explains far more of the town’s identity and architecture than most first-time visitors care to realise."
