Carry On in Wellingborough

I was introduced to an interesting pub in Wellingborough, Northants. Highly regarded, the Coach and Horses has won numerous awards and judging by the interior decor (and the quality of the beer) it was easy to see why.

In creating the atmosphere of the pub, the owner must be something of a hoarder. Pump clips adorn almost every available space, alongside other breweriana.

What caught my eye, however, were the autographed photos of Carry On actors displayed on the walls.

Bernard Breslaw and Peter Butterworth snuggled amongst the pump clips

Although Babs, Hattie, Sid James, Kenneth Williams and Peter Butterworth et al were all present, believe me, this was no Whippet Inn.
