So many fondly-remembered 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. Saracen's Head - Lawrence Street, Barrack Road
The Saracen's Head did well in the 20th century before shutting down in 1970. Not much more to say unless it was one of your locals. | jpimedia

10. Green Dragon - Mayorhold and Bearward Street
A slightly older photo, The site of the former Green Dragon - which shut in 1969 - is now under the corner of the Mayorhold carp park. | jpimedia

11. The Morning Star - Great Russell Street/Earl Street
Another fondly remembered pub that disappeared in 1974. Legends say it had two entrances so husbands could nip out the back when irate wives came searching for them. | jpimedia

12. Spotted Dog - Grafton Street
The Spotted Dog was something of a clinger-on until it was closed in 1971. It did well as one of the last pubs in its area and is fondly remembered by some of Northampton's older residents. | jpimedia
