I suppose it depends on what is classed as Northampton? Just the town centre? I think theres 17 on the Welly road crawl alone... |

I was just having a conversation with my mate and we were trying to guess. Within the town boundaries would be a decent place to start but I'd say the Brampton Halt (example) was in Northampton but that's technically within the shire. Could be a fun Hotel End game to try and name them all? I live close to Sixfields and near me are the Squirrels, The Rover, The Melbourne Arms, The Longboat, Hart of Duston and The Sixfields Tavern. |

Perhaps you could try Pubhopweek. It would use up less petrol.

I thought The Clicker closed down or is it back open now?
Another question - how many decent pubs are there in Northampton? We won't be here long.

Isn't the Clicker being turned into a Muslim religious building?

I haven't lived in NN2 for decades - isn't the Windmill still there on the Welford Road? I know Baldy asked but I don't get the Leeds reference!! |

An American diner!!! For f***'s sake! What is the world coming to? You used to be able to get a nice pint of Burton's in the North Star. |
