    Love this video John! Very familiar with Northampton but you managed to shed light on previously unknown features. Next time , lets see Pete Murphy (from Bauhaus) with yourself, Ian and Alan Moore. Was wondering about the soundtrack and I was pleasantly surprised that it was you! nice one it worked really well!

    This video is a treasure. There’s so much wisdom imbedded in each sentence in this conversation, that watching it just once is virtually impossible. Thanks so much for this John.

    Mr. Rogers let me from the outset say that I believe London is the greatest city. No other city comes close to it. Your channel brings me close to London. It's almost like I am there in body. Thank you so much for your channel.

    I’ve got to be honest John, I can only understand about 20% of that is but it was so fascinating. I watched it three times and there’s a lot more in it than I can understand, but thank you for sharing it since it made a delightful evening pass trying to come to terms with something I struggled to understand..

    Its so good how you and your friends show how ordinary places are all extraordinary really. Everywhere is. I know nothing about Northampton but I know just one of my ancestors lived there but I know nothing about him but his name and trade. Thomas Woodford of Northampton,rope maker in the mid 1700s. The peoms of John Clare are beautiful. I once heard on the radio I think,a long piece by John Clare describing how unsettling he and no doubt many others found The Enclosures. Not being able to walk over ground and along streams and in woodland where once they could roam freely on possible pain of death,well it was as physically and mentally painful as life today where all our certainties are being cast away.

    You guys, like myself, are just getting very much older, where the present loses its significance, but I can't tell whether it's a relief or a burden yet! If the past is anything to go by it's the latter.

    Knowledge of the past can rescue us from a horrible future,or if it doesn't rescue us,because there's not enough of us,at least we will recognize the LIES. Like "it'll all be over by Christmas" ,in the right circumstances war is good and noble", young people are eager to volunteer and even fight to protect our way of life, ......

    Sadly not the original postern gate but a Victorian attempt at a folly using castle stone. How accurate the recreation is may be seen from studying photographs of the original which was on the west side of the inner bailey of the castle.

    Somewhere on the BBC's iPlayer there's a three part 1972 series by the great architecture critic Ian Nairn, "Nairn Across Britain". The first episode includes a visit to Northampton ("A rather drab, south midlands town") with a passionate defence of the Market Square and the Emporium Arcade, both of which were then under threat of redevelopment (Spoilers: They were). The whole series is a delight - probably on KZread as well.

    OK, in my defence I'm a rationalist idiot, but as far as Sinclair's tedious invocation of all things magical and energetical the following may be germane : " ... the supernatural which (take it any way you like) is but a manufactured article, the fabrication of minds insensitive to the intimate delicacies of our relation to the dead and to the living, in their countless multitudes; a desecration of our tenderest memories; an outrage on our dignity." Writ by the deepest psychogeographer of the 20th century by a country mile imo. ' ... Whatever my native modesty may be it will never condescend to seek help for my imagination within those vain imaginings common to all ages and that in themselves are enough to fill all lovers of mankind with unutterable sadness.'

    I was born in 1956 on The Spencer Estate in Northampton, and met Alan Moore a few times. I have a passion for history. Northampton has a very interesting history and has beautiful architecture. The county is on par with The Cotswolds---Good video.
