Don't worry it's not after an apocalypse, people don't wake up very early in Bedworth🙂

@@oldcorvus Haha. Shame, that in 8 years since you put this vid up, a lot of this has gone. The Goose, The Black Hoss, the strange business that was opposite Black Horse Rd... Glad you documented it, when you did.

Iron bridge which is at 0:21 is where all the chavs hang out. But I like having bonfires underneath. The place is also known as devils drop it has a scary story.

This is a great document of Bedworth today, and posted only eight days ago! I grew up locally and now work in Bedworth town centre, so I'm there five days a week, but your video points out several details that I've never noticed. The stand-out one for me is at 2:30 -- is that an air-raid shelter manhole cover? There's an air-raid shelter down there?! (Or is that just a modern brand name suggesting a strong, bomb-proof bit of metal?) Must be pretty near Terry Aucott's?

the8ctagon Hi, Thank's for your interest in the video. There is indeed an Air Raid Shelter under that cover, I assume it is intact as the original buildings are still there. It is located by the pedestrian crossing in front of 'Snappy Pizza' (T. Aucott is next door). It has been sealed for the best part of 70 Years, it would be fascinating to have a look down there for any artifacts.

ASPECTS OF............... [come on, you can't maintain a username that includes an uncountable number of dots] I know, I found where the manhole cover was this lunchtime! It seems very hollow underneath Snappy Tomato Pizza. I wonder if they use it as a storage place for their chilled dough, or if they're unaware of it. I had assumed that all local air-raid shelters were of the Nissen hut type: that's all I've ever seen on the television. I knew they had different sorts around London Underground stations, but we don't have anything like that here. It blows my mind a little bit that there might be WWII caves like this still in places like Bedworth. Presumably in wartime an air-raid shelter that was so well built into the fabric of the town wouldn't have had just one entrance/exit. Maybe there was an entrance at the back of the shops, and the manhole cover was just to be used if the original entrance got stoved in by a bomb? I'm just guessing, but it doesn't seem very efficient or safe to expect everyone to pass beneath this very heavy slab of metal. But I don't know anything about this, so maybe everyone did just pile down a ladder from the street. Are there any others like this in Bedworth? Is this just an interesting bit of ironwork that you spotted, or do all the proper locals of a certain age know about it? You said that it's been sealed for ages, but if you look at its fastenings, they're very shiny! That suggests that they've been unscrewed recently.

the8ctagon Aspects of ..............(whatever I come across). I have visions of you jumping up and down on the manhole cover outside the Pizza Shop, to the bewilderment of the staff..... There were several types of Air Raid Shelters, some more successful than others primaryfacts.com/504/world-war-2-air-raid-shelters-facts-and-information/ They varied from the Anderson Shelter in gardens to the absurd reinforced Morrison Dining Table. I don't think the flat pack furniture of today would cut it. Nissen Huts were for storage and personnel, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissen_hut There is visible in the rear of a property in Newtown Road when you look down the side of the house, an in situ Anderson Shelter! ('Rose Dene' No 277 by the Bus Stop). It is quite possible that the Manhole is an emergency rather than primary exit/entrance, it's the only one I know of, unless someone reading this as you say 'of a certain age' who knows different. The shiny appearance and general wear I suspect is down to hundreds of feet every day scuffing the cover and preventing oxidation. It is an intriguing piece of history.
