tinfoilhat Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Would anybody know how many pubs there were in it's hey day, on the legendary Brampton Mile in Chesterfieldand how many are there to this day? Takes me back this. Let's see, circa mid 90s: Terminus (now flats) Peacock Victoria Britannia Rose and crown Three horse shoes (now the ale house ?) Brampton mile Prince of Wales Anchor red lion Barrel New inn (called something else I think) Alma Royal oak Square and compass The sun Some people counted the Portland.

diezeltruck Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 when i did the mile they were 22 or 23 pubs Which period would this have been, Kerry? I ask the question about The Brampton Mile, after someone mentioned The Eccles Mile, in a local pub and said there were about 26 pubs on it, Eccles that is. I googled the "Eccles Mile" and there were no links to it at all, but "The Brampton Mile" was mentioned in loads of places. Could the BM have held the record for the most pubs within a mile stretch?

alchresearch Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Definitely a regional thing. The first thing I thought of when I saw the title was the Brampton Straight Mile - a long straight road running to Brampton E-L Morthern near Rotherham.
