Barpool Road in the 50's

My Mum's family lived on Barpool road (Nan and Gramps still do) and she often tells us how the kids in the street played together with giant skipping ropes made from the washing line that went across the street. Also about the mischief the gang of kids got up to (all innocent). My mum's family are the Reays, my mum is... [more]

Warwickshire Revisited Photographic Memories

Part of Church Street was destroyed in an air raid in 1941, but misguided development and unrestricted traffic growth have since done far more damage to the townscape than German bombs. The buildings in this photograph have been replaced with grotesque monstrosities, and the road seems to be permanently congested.

Warwickshire Revisited Photographic Memories

People lived and traded on Bond Gate until 1969. Now, together with Bond Street, it is a dispiriting introduction to Nuneaton for those of us who arrive by train. All these buildings have been swept away, and replaced by a dire hotchpotch of modern horrors overlooking endless traffic. The buses now leave from an ugly new station round the corner, with a footbridge providing pedestrian access from Bond Gate.
