A distinctive brown-and-white pub in the angle of two roads on the north side of the town. After lying empty for fifteen years, there are now plans to convert it into flats. Across the road is an imposing stone-built pub called the Cock.

The Fox and Hounds
A typical Northamptonshire ironstone building with a steeply-pitched roof, situatedon the north side of the town not far from the Dun Cow. Now converted to residential use.
The Dun Cow
A distinctince green and white pub in Manns livery on the north side of the town centre. According to StreetView, it had been demolished by 2014.
The Talbot
A red-brick back-street pub just west of the town centre that has now lost its Marston’s signage.
The Roundhead
Befitting its name, a particularly grim and functional-looking pub situated in what appears to be the middle of a business park. It originally had windows along the top of the ground floor which have now been tinned up. It has been closed since 2012 and there are now plans, unsurprisingly, to convert it into flats.
The Silver Jubilee
A modern estate-style pub on the north side of the city, that was still open in 2009, but doesn’t seem to have made it to 35 years, and was in a very bad state by the time it was pictured in 2018. It was demolished in early 2022 to make way for a school.
The Cherry Tree
A small, white-painted pub in an area of older housing on the south side of the city. There are plans to – you guessed it – redevelop the site as flats.
The Globe
A substantial pub-cum-hotel in this large village close to the Grand Union Canal, once the location of a major ordnance depot. It has since become a Tesco Express.
The Royal Oak
A solid-looking pub in a village on the main road between Daventry and Northampton, built out of the distinctive reddish local ironstone.
The Dog in a Doublet
An isolated pub in a bleak Fenland location east of Peterborough. It gives its name to the nearby Dog in a Doublet lock, which is the furthest point reached by tides on the River Nene.
