Hi Trees

I went to Brackley Library and unfortunately was unable to find any info however, I will go again to do some further reading to make sure.  They have a nice collection of Brackley High Street photos but again no luck.

Having read Debs's post, I have worked out possibly where the pub would have been.

Here is a  google picture but I will go tomorrow to Brackley and take a more direct photo for you.

Knowing of course that building numbers might have been changed, 25 Market Place is now an Age Concern Shop (see Northampton & County and PJ Cars Taxi in the picture).

In the absence of any info, I hope this of some use to you. I hope to be going to the Northampton Records office in the near future and I will check the records there also.

Thank Fue what a nice Georgian town it looks we must make a point of stopping a while next time Sapling goes to Silverstone I think the 65 was the schedule number not the street number I have another look and see if there are any clues in the nearby census entries

No, I do believe that the link that Deb gave on the earlier post gives the actual building number and street, but I could be wrong.

Yes Brackley is just off the roundabout of the A43 and is a lovely high street, shame that so many shops are closing down on it

Sorry Fue I thought the map Deb sent was Northamptons not Brackley  I am having a senior moment and missing something here please point me in the right direction

HI Trees

Nice to see Fue has gone out of her way to assist you.

The link to the Public Houses from Deb is for Northampton Town only.

Hi again

Many thanks for the kind words, it is nice to have something in my backyard that I can hopefully help with.

However Seahall your are right, the details appear to be for Northampton Town only (funny I could have sworn it was for Northamptonshire, now who's going mad) and what a coincidence that there was a Flying Horse Inn in the market square.  Brackley's high street also  encompasses a 'market square' 

So Trees, I am still on it

Hi Trees

I have made contact with secretary of the Brackley & District History Society and although she was unable to give any information, she had details of a picture showing the pub and sign. It is not the best as it is a side view but here is a link should you wish to purchase a copy (as it is in the hands of an art gallery).

I will continue to try to find its location and will let you know if I find any info.
