So many fondly-remembered Northampton pubs have shut their doors over the years but are still in the memories of their customers.
These photos - researched by Dave Knibb, the Northampton author of 'Last Orders: A History and Directory of Northampton Pubs' - show some of the town's old stomping grounds.
Do you remember stopping for a drink in any of them?

9. Henley Arms in Horseshoe Street
Dave said: "The Henley Arms was on the south corner of Gregory Street and, being on the join of Horseshoe Street and Gas Street was referred to by all three addresses over time. A fairly routine Victorian pub, it did though manage to rack up an incredible amount of fines against many different landlords for ‘after hours’ drinking. The Henley Arms, like two other neighbours in Gas Street, was closed and compensated for in 1907."
10. Sewing Machine
Dave said: "The Sewing Machine has been mentioned as dating back to 1834 but it’s highly unlikely. Maybe there was a beer house there but it wasn’t called that back then. The first mention I found of the pub ‘by name’ was from 1867 when George Sabbage, beer retailer and butcher, was fined for the age old ‘after hours’ charge. He was involved with it for some years and the place seemed to tick over as a little local until the early 1910’s when it was looking to expand. It treadled on until 1938 when its thread unravelled for the last time."
