I have lived in Northampton since 2004 and have found it a thoroughly pleasant place to live. Northampton is of a size where, although it should probably rightly be classified as a small city, it still has the feel of a big village. You see faces in the high street that are recognisable and well known. For a town of its size Northampton ... Read the complete review

The famous oldie worldy journalist Danielle Defoe once described Northampton as the 'handsomest town in all this part of England'. But that was back in 1676. Its certainly not an asthetically pleasing place anymore, looking like it fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch! Moral is so low the front of the Chicago Rock Café fell off ...

Now we go once every couple of months for a shopping spree. We always go to gazebo they have a fabulous range of underwere, and more ... Read the complete review

So how do you sell a town like Northampton as a place to visit for the day tripper or tourist, well that must be one of the most challenging jobs going because if I'm honest there is not a lot to attract the day visitor to the town, no historically famous land marks, no large impressive buildings, in fact the only building I can think of ...

Whether I like it or not Northampton is my hometown. I have lived here most of my life, so perhaps naturally have some allegiances to the place. However, having seen the town change over the years - in a good and bad ways - I have stored up a few opinions. What follows is not a visitor's guide to everything you can see and do ...

It all started so innocently. Six months I said and she believed me. That was 10 years ago and here we are still in my adopted hometown of Northampton. The days of us pining for a return to Birmingham appear to have disappeared forever with our roots well and truly entrenched in good old Northampton clay soil but it wasn’t always so. ...

Supposedly Northampton is the biggest town in Europe although it’s short on everything else, living here all my life on and off I cant really say it’s a bad place to be but just a touch average. Its ideal for young families with a nice slopping high street with all the brand and multiples nestling comfortably as busy ... Read the complete review

I have been visiting Northampton for many,many years now and it has never stopped amazing me just how seedy the town is. For instance, there is a walkway from the Major Hold car park to the main shopping area that is always dirty, smelly and usually inhabited by unsavory people drinking alcohol from bottles. Some of the ... Read the complete review

Northampton, unsurprisingly is the county town of Northamptonshire, which, depending on what TV region you are in, is either part of East Anglia, East Midlands, or the West Midlands. This identity problem is solved though as a lot of Northamptonians are proud of their town. Sporting success recently has raised the profile of the ... Read the complete review
