Well that looks nice, where is it? Even without a roof, I’d stay there over Leicester.

Get in the moat!

You get in the moat. I was just about to comment on how cute Marlowe is, but I won’t bother now.

It was shut when I was there, but English Heratage were charging £9.50 for a tour when it was.

Never heard of it. Looks very peaceful.

If you don't like the effect, don't produce the claws.

According to Google Maps, it's near the Poundstretcher head office. Excited

Back from me hols!!

And you can't go there* without visiting the shoe Museum!

* Go on, guess.

Is that somewhere like Stoke?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Oct 06, 2023 4:31 pm

Where's that place whose football team is nicknamed The Cobblers? Given the presence of a shoe museum, is that where you went?

I was thinking Northampton - from the shoe photos. There's that film Kinky Boots based around shoemaking in Northampton.

Not long after passing my driving test I drove to Northampton as I wanted to go somewhere I'd never been before, and somewhere no one else would ever want to go with me, so I just got in the car and drove to Northampton. happy

I always think of Northampton as being in the south as it's "on the way to London" from my area, but map-wise it's actually quite Midlandsy. I think I've even detected mild Midlands accents on people from Northampton.

When I lived in Essex Northampton was the first place that, when I travelled north, felt like I'd got to a different part of the country.

They say, do they not, 'In America you drive 100 miles and you're still in the same state. In Britain you drive 100 miles and the people have a different accent and a different name for bread rolls.'

That gives me an idea for a thread. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 07, 2023 9:14 am

But how do I word it? hmm
