00:00 It doesn't get more Luton Town than this pub. After 200 years of serving pints, the
00:06 Brickies has been named as Cameron's Pub of the Year for South Bedfordshire.
00:14 It's come close to winning the award before, but it seems fitting for landlady Alison to
00:19 get this title as she prepares to pull her last pint after 38 years behind the bar.
00:25 Hattie's history is carved into the walls of this place. The Luton Town Supporters Trust
00:29 was even founded in the Brickies' back room in 2003.
00:48 Luton Town Football Club's influence on the pub cannot be overstated.
00:57 From a mural of Mick Harford, which he signed himself, and flags along the bar, to pictures
01:04 of teens in years gone by, and orange and blue tiles in the toilets.
01:12 And fans of the pub aren't based just in the town. The Brickies devotees are international,
01:18 with Scandinavian and Italian hatters making their mark on the watering hole too.
01:27 So whether it's your ritual to pop in for a pre-match pint, or have a go at the weekly
01:32 quiz on a Monday, make sure you say goodbye to Alison before she leaves in June.
