Didn't point out the castle originally dating from the 12th century as you flew over John. Well worth a mention although the castle itself is private property. Sadly, I understand it has been vandalised since I was last invited there. People have been living in the area of the castle for 10,000 years, originally nomads that moved around the local area. Another interesting fact well worth knowing and noting is that there are adders in and around the castle area presumably stretching into the country park.
A very enjoyable video John. Have you seen the new village sign on the Green? I believe the sign and the bench you sat on were provided by the Parish Council.
The recreation ground, you walked over; was once a stone quarry, then became a landfill site. Would have loved the drone to follow, Nuneaton Road from the Green to Mancetter Road.
wonderful video again, thank you for your making these, they really are good archive footage for future generations. I can't believe you flew over the ruins of the castle though, and didn't mention it? :-p
I forgot about that little park. My dad used to take us up on a Sunday while my mum was making the dinner

My pleasure.

Thanks Sue. I’ll look out for the sign.
