Draycote Water

I worked for a company called Biwater, they had the contract to extend the water treatment works situated alongside Draycote Water. To get to the site we had to drive around the lake, what a beautiful place. Trout fishing was allowed by licence. I lived on site and some evenings I'd go into Dunchurch village, another beautiful place. I'd go for a bar snack and pint in the 'Green Man' pub, I will never forget the welcome given by the regulars and owners, also the the local shops and garage I used each day. Many thanks.

It's still a great local, with good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Theres aplaque to my father Arthur above the bench in the Lounge he used each day. You should come back and try it!
