my family are from northampton my mum grew up on lea road and normand road . this was a very nice town at one time. is the monks park club still there my great grandfather was one of the founders . thanks great clip . cheers from across the pond
This is a truly wonderful video, it captures what northampton is all about in such a simple but but insightful way. Some our towns greatest institutions such as the lloyds no.1 bar, the istanbul chef and everyones faviorite hang out the 'jesus army center' when our towns young inpresionable and vunerable get brain washed
I lived in Northampton from Aug 2003 to June 06, I loved each moment of it, I can identify most landmarks in the video,and I There's so much more to Northampton ,I think its a great town to be in.I loved the sixfields leisure area ,duston, hunsbury. We used to shop at Tesco Extra and sainsburys. I used to commute to corby/kettering/wellingborough regularly. Now I have moved to USA,but a bit of northampton will always stay in my heart forever.
This is bullshit. You didn't show the kids statue with a bottle of metz in it's hand, and there were no gypsies at the racehorse. This is as authentic as a Japanese cartoon without a pre-teen schoolgirl getting raped.
LOL yeah there is hardly anything to do in Northampton. Town is ok but hardly any decent shops. No decent clubs. We need an arena sobig bands canplay there but it will only get graffitied anddestroyed by the chavs.
Oh my word, some brilliant comments here! it needs to be said Northampton is a soul destroying place of chavs grebo`s and drunks and this video shows many of the hovels that this place offers. The riff raff in Brierlys the smell of urine in college street and the in breds of Far Cotton so dibber08 i diddn`t like it and I did F*** off!
dude try banbury Northamptons a heaven compared to that place i should know ive been/worked/and stayed in both and lets face it GARY-touch ya kids up-GLITTER was born in banbury
Speaking as a person who has lived here for a few years. I have to say its the most depressing narrow minded town I have ever come to know. I only live here because of business reasons. darrowby1972 you had me HOWLING regds the favell centre but how about the arndale in wellingborough for real depression?? or the agora in bletchley? LMAO
Just logged on here so I could show a friend about the dump i used to live in. The Aquadrome smells of sewage, Greyfriars is scary, Weston Favell Centre is mecca for poverty and has everything skint folk could want Peacocks, Wilkinson and fuckin Oliver Adams. GOD how i DONT miss it! Nightfire 620 is right! Wellingborough Road is awash with the Insane, Infirm and Incapable. As for videoing your journey from Wolverton while driving JVV312Q not sure I`D be calling people twats!
Hey - trust me it's much better than living in Auckland, New Zealand. New Zealand is the biggest hell hole on the planet and I can't wait to return back to Northampton. So if you think THAT'S bad, try living in this dump of a city.
ok mayb there never was much to do in northampton but im a northamptonian thru nd thru! lived there for most of me life then moving to new zealand? seriously, northampton is the most exciting place on earth compared to ere. Plus the guys r hotter. Except the chavs. Those we culd all do wivout
i used to live in northampton, but then i moved, because northamptons SHITE! i lived there for 18 years, and fuk me it was depressing. i will never go back(apart from when im visiting mates)
i lived in kingsheath, briar hill, Eastfield, spencer estate, and they were all grotty. man, just watching this vid made me wanna get out a razor blade.......
i lived in northampton until i was 17, then i decided to move to birmingham, they both suck.
I lived in Goldings (dell crescent) Lings (Tyres court)and Spring Boroughs (Horsemarket), none was that good.
But the best places i went to there was Abington Park (good for a shag), Legends Nightclub (dunno if its still there), The Lounge (i could drink from the age of 12 there), and who could deny the train station, the quickest way out...
The vid shows a few pubs that are all in desperate need of a major refurbishment (Lloyds excepted) a strip club and a Jesus Army centre. Not exactly for tourists. They are all around Abington Square. Where's the rest of Northampton? Concentrate on land marks, heratige and listed buildings and points of natural beauty. Despite what people say it has interesting areas and I don't mean the pub crawl on Wellingborough Road ending at the lap dancing club! :)
Gone right downhill now, lived there for yonks, well just outside (Cogenhoe), also lived in the Eastern district (Lings), what a zoo. You need to learn a foreign language to live there now, ie: Polish.
You pretty much summed up my Uni nights out in that one video - tried to rave in the Jesus centre once, they weren't having any of it unless we wore orange crosses. The Penny Whistle Rocks! And Lloyds with their cheap drinks!
i live in daventry - so am dead jealous of anyone living in northampton, welly, or in a cardboard box in the middle of the m6! like going out drinking in northampon though.
Nice, lots of memories there, where i used to drink in 6th form, where i used to work, the old cinema. very nice. That doesn't stop it beening a dirty chav-infested hole though
I lived in Northampton for 3 years and it bored the shit out of me. As you can see in the video, there is nothing there. I remember when urban tiger burned down, that was the most interesting thing that ever happened
i agree with happysnapper...... then again i have been his mate for 16years and also live in northampton its not that bad...........them dam dirty cosivans......... btw big up sol camp
big up davcity???????come on...the next thing u'll b saying is that shithole welly is better than northampton.........ive lived in northampton all my life(28years)....and its ok.....the only thing that puts it down is....grafton street,st.stephens house and cosivans trying 2 pick up 13 year old girls around the town centre on a saturday.........funny vid man...u gonna do anymore????ohhh big up dj sol and sol camp........
Northampton ain't that bad. Go and see some Northampton Town F.C. away games, and see how bland some of those towns are, then come back and say Northampton is boring.
If you like it so much that you make such a depressing vid then why not leave? Come and live in sunny MK instead!; Nhampton has always been boring - claims to fame like Des Oconnor and Bob Harris, shoes and carpets... wow!
It was a nice town, sadly in the early 70's a large number of scum from London came to the god awful new developments and decided to breed!
