Walkabout video starting at Wyken Slough and taking in parts of Wood End and Bell Green, Coventry – ending outside the famous Rose & Crown pub.
Includes Riley Square.

I lived their in what used to be called River walk back in the early 70s and went to the Bell green primary school. wow it has changed a lot. the lake you started this vid with would freeze over in the winter and I used to skate on it. I am 59 now but had good memories living their where you filmed this. Cheers shawry
Riley Square has become a third world shithole. I remember it as a thriving shopping precinct. It’s a concrete dystopian dump now. Depressing as hell.
Wyken Slough used to be a family park. There was a snack bar and toilets; you could go on a motor boat around the lake. Would get crowded with families and children every sunny weekend in Spring/Summer.
