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.

16. Shopped at Brierley's
Brierley's has been described as the "original pound shop". Frank Brierley revolutionised shopping when he was the first to install checkouts and petrol stations at his supermarkets. Do you remember the green and white striped bags with the skull and crossbones on them? He earned his 'pirate' nickname by battling with the Government about the 1950 Shops Act, which prohibited shops from trading after 5.30pm.
