About Fencing in Northampton
Northampton grew into England's leading shoemaking centre, its first recorded shoe exports dating to 1378, with a ready supply of leather from the town's large cattle markets and water for tanning drawn from nearby forests. By 1840 around a third of all adult men in the town worked as shoemakers, and the mid nineteenth century introduction of Goodyear welting technology cemented Northampton's reputation for quality leather footwear that continues today.

Types of Materials found in Northampton

Areas closer to the River Nene can have softer alluvial ground, so a soil check is worthwhile there before deep post installation.
