Kettering
This market and industrial town in north Northamptonshire, Kettering owes much of its growth to the arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century and, more recently, to the A14 road corridor connecting the M1 with east coast ports. The town is home to Weetabix's UK breakfast cereal production, and new housing and industrial development continue to expand its outskirts.
