Originally stretched around the corner into New Street, as the Peacock Coaching Inn, which served as the main hotel for Daventry railway station. The Weedon-Daventry-Leamington branch line opened in 1888 and closed to passenger traffic in 1958. First recorded in 1712, the Peacock Coaching Inn was requisitioned by the Ministry of Defence during WWII and ceased trading in 1946. Subsequently, the building has housed a hotel, the registrars office, the Northampton Town & Country Building Society and the Halifax Building Society.
