The phrase
‘painting the town red” originated in Melton when some young
aristocrats up for the hunt went on a drunken spree in the 1800s and
literally painted Melton town centre red. :D
Melton Mowbray?!
Melton is located in the heart of Leicestershire.
| Melton is a great small market town which I do recommend to anyone. I'm not a sales person but I do think people should come to Melton :D |
It is well known for its stilton cheese and pork pies.
Melton has many pubs too.
The town has a long established association with foxhunting.
