Good walkaround. Tired of the overdone city center walk arounds! Used to go to Coventry Tec years ago then on to The Lanchester. Greetings from Arizona, USA.

What eatingo that next to my house 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Know Beechwood Avenue & Rochester Road ever so well. I'd cross the A45 near my house, then either go down Canley Road & through the Riddings or through the Canley Ford, onto the narrow bridle path between the Hearsall Golf Club, then onto Bates Road, onto the corner of Beechwood. Then I'd walk toward St. Barbara's Church, then turn right on the other side of Rochester Road, then walk towards Radcliffe Road, then Earlsdon Street. A journey done many a time over the years. Love Earlsdon, for it holds many happy memories for me.

Had a walk around my city quite recently taking photos of the old, ruined city walls, Lady Herbert's Garden & the two medieval city gates that still remain. The photo from my mobile phone came out really well despite the rain.

Many thanks for giving up your New Years Day for us expats to see the City Centre. 👍

Well done. I grew up in Coventry long ago and cannot believe in the drastic changed that have taken place. Seems that Lady Godiva has been relegated to make way for the 'amusement wheel". Greetings from the USA. Happy New Year.

Thanks for the lovely video.

Thank you very much! I love walking around Cov City Centre when I get back there. I grew up less than one mile away and this was my playground, very different back in the 70's/80s. The centre looks spotless too!

Thanks for that lovely walk round my City Centre x

Ive looked through these gates. Wonderful sight. Imagine all the people its served in over 300 years. Such a pity that the war so badly damged coventry which must have been stunning before. Glad you can still buildings today.😊

Lady Godiva used to be a most central part of Broadgate, now, she seems an afterthought, relegated to proletariat walk byes.

Lived on Churchill Avenue for years before immigrating to the USA. Greetings from Arizona and thank you.

In the 1960s it was all English businesses. There was a Co-op (now gone, but the building remains I believe) and a cinema (The Regal). There was a toy shop where I bought my first Dinky toy, and one of the side streets had a fantastic bakery. We lived in Courthouse Green and used to walk to the Foleshill Road area to shop. My mother bought our clothes at the Co-op. As kids we borrowed books from the Foleshill library.

poor Lady Godiva, no longer surrounded by green grass, now paved in by acres of horrible, soulless pedestrianisation.

I’ll be in Warwickshire in November. Do you guys have snow in November?

I miss Coventry; hoping to come back soon❤🌹🌹

You can tell this area is affluent by the cleanliness of the streets and the lack of crowds. Moneyed people don’t want to live near plebeians.

cannot believe the trash

Agly town!

With all those empty shops, does the window cleaner carry sandpaper?

Who remembers when it was a multi-story car park?

Hoping to visit the 🇬🇧UK again in 2023; hopefully I make it during summer time👙🌞🏊 this time around.

Find memories about this beautiful city.

You make the city look beautiful mate. I see it differently through your lens. I've never seen it in such light! It's the best vid I've seen of my city. I grew up not far from there. You've made the changes look really good. Thanks 👍🏼

I left Cov in 2000, that was my (almost) daily cycle ride most of my early life. Around Foleshill and Hillfields via Harnall Lane or City Centre, then back up the Stoney Stanton Road. Great video.

There were gang wars in that park in the early 80's.

You all need to watch Harry Hill - Coventry Market. Hilarious if you're from Cov.

Excellent camera work! Watched from Melbourne Australia.

Thank you Flaneur for a lovely stroll and with your excellent camera work it was just like being there. Really enjoy your movies of Coventry but my legs are dropping off now 😃. I now know where to take an enjoyable walk when I pay Coventry centre a visit later this year. Please keep up your City walks for us expatriates. 👍

Make this a yearly thing. Thanks for the video

Enjoyed th walk👍. Thanks.

Nice one. I keep asking when they'll put the benches back in, but no solid answers. Took them away in early-2020. Used to be a great place to sit and have a little think. The bandstand at the top has benches as well but they boarded it up completely because too much drug dealing and drug taking was happening in that area.

After the Xmas market bit in Godiva Square, if you'd gone down the slope of the Upper Precinct instead of cutting through the side of Primark, you'd have seen a lot of changes as well - the finished series of fountains and plant beds, etc. Or maybe you caught those in a previous video?

Alfred Herbert wanted to rebuild the Cathedral to its former self but of course City planners had other ideas! Greetings from a Brit residing in the USA.

There's a lot more green space than I remember, will look fab when the spring bulbs show.

A bigger shit hole now

Wow, Paul is still on his flower stall

I sold newspapers outside the factory as a kid

Thank you. Very interesting. Ice rink is different, I used to go to the Birmingham ice rink every week. Not sure about the hoardings. Have a good new year🇦🇺

nuclear test strike

Nice video👍. Thanks.

A gift to Coventry from the industrialist, Sir Alfred Herbert. Coventry used to be an engineering/manufacturing hub, now who knows what! Greetings from a Brit residing in the USA.

Thank you , I need this I miss Coventry

The ring road should have been built at ground level. What the heck is that strange overhead construction at the end of White Street/bottom of Trinity Street? Ridiculous!

Thank you for the walk round the park. Used to live in Kenilworth (until 1987) so often passed the park on the way to shop in Coventry. Visited the park a few times.

It has not changed a great deal since I last walked around there almost 40 years ago.

Stab vests to be warn at all times 👺 knife crime is all go go go now 👺👺

Council Tax BENEFITS THE CORRUPT COUNCIL ! I WILL NOT FUND THE ROBBING BUNCH OF 🤬🤬🤬t’s with my money ever again

I left Coventry in 1962 when it was probably at its peak. I recognise various buildings and of course the precinct area. I do not think that the city has been done any favours since I left. There used to be grass in Broadgate not soulless slabs. What a dreary, drab ,heartless place it looks. I will definitely not be returning.

Can you remember the date you made this video ?
