Towcester, in Northamptonshire, had a population of around 11,500 at the 2021 census — a town that has sat beside the same road for close to two thousand years.
A Roman staging post on Watling Street
Towcester is widely regarded as Northamptonshire's oldest town, with archaeological finds pointing to Iron Age and even Stone Age activity on the site. The Romans built the defended town of Lactodorum here directly on Watling Street, their road running from Dover through London to the Welsh borders, and the street still runs straight through the modern town centre.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Towcester shoppers order online anyway
