As a warwickian but born at the warnford hospital which sadly is now a residential area, my interest in the history of the town lead me here, and filled in a lot of the blanks in my knowledge, the outskirts of the pump room gardens apparently was used to exercise the elephants from the circus and the slipway by the weir at the back of the parish church was used to Bath and water the elephants. Thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, when is the next instalment 👍🏻
Hi Nick, thanks for the kind comments. There is already a next instalment! Link: ruclips.net/video/tjOeOEyoR7U/видео.html We're also working on another film, about post-war Leamington, which will be released in the summer.
Born n bred. Well made, and learnt a lot. The Courier should devote one page per week to a piece of Leamington history, with some of these old photos, and extracts from the old Courier issues.
Brilliant. Love Leamington, thanks for making this interesting video.
Excellent film.
Being Leamington born and bred, I really enjoyed this documentary. Thank you for making it available.

Excellent and very informative, well done!
It seems unfair how Wimbledon is the epicentre for tennis today, but tennis was actually invented in Leamington Spa.
Barry's posts are always good value...
My Grand Parents owned a shop in Chandos Street for many years. Happy memories.
Where the shop was is now a car park. Progress!?
Streets full of detached houses on spacious plots would of been a good plan.
Now look at Leamington...
