Northampton has its ups and downs but it is these quirks that make it the home we know and love.
From taking a swim in the old 'Middy Meadow' open air pool to breathing in the distinctive smell of the old bus station, from tackling the Welly Road pub crawl to meeting iconic characters when we are 'deyn teyn', there is so much that sets us apart from other towns.
You're not really from Northampton if you haven't...
6. Walked a thousand laps around the Grosvenor Centre with your friends
Linking arms with your friends as teenagers, browsing all the shops... remember the glass canopy above the Abington Street entrance?
7. Sat on a hill outside Cobblers' Stadium and watched a football game
An incredible view!
8. Completed the Welly Road pub crawl
That famous long line of pubs on the Welly Road made for for perfect 'pre-drinks' before hitting the clubs on Bridge Street... if you weren't already on the floor before then!
