Everything To Do in Coventry | UK City of Culture 2021

[@brumman100]

People need to forget there old views on what Coventry was like and see for themselves, it’s beautiful now we have so many brilliant places to visit , Fargo , music museum etc , the city centre is looking very good , lots of work still going on, but it was buzzing on Saturday, proud to be from Coventry

[@yesthen2704]

Coventry was nice, now it’s a dump. There aren’t many whites but the remaining whites are all chavs and nittys

[@arcanexd]

My home city, I miss coventry but I'm loving life in liverpool living with my mum and step-dad, we are visiting coventry in the summer and I cannot wait to come back home ❤️

[@BassBanj0]

really don't understand why some people make it seem like Coventry is a hell pit it's really nice here for the most part, there's alot of things to do, the people are really nice for the most part There's been lots of improvements even in just the one year I've been here

I was born in Coventry from 1964 -2002 I Went Coundon infant/junior then Coundon court schools. From leaving school I worked In a varied field of work furniture shop food shop PARKSIDE garage Warwick road and post office and then community transport and finally a taxi driver /private hire driver. Loved that some great cars were built there like Jaguar Triumph and Singer Humber were my father worked for 32 years.. We lived close to Jaguar factory with the WEDGE and just down the road Holyhead road where Alvis factory was my mum worked there some years prior to having me and my sister across the road was Carbodies the famous London taxi. So much was made in and around Coventry I remember In geography doing social Geography I learned so much And as car factories vanished New buildings would appear like out of town shopping. I believe the best bit was Standard / Triumph as the streets around that area were called by the cars produced there like Dolomite way and Herald Close Vanguards way But to name a few. Great video thank you

[@AlexTravels1]

Im glad you enjoyed! I think the old motor industry is my favourite part if Coventry's history, and I'm happy there is still evidence of it in Coventry today, despite new university accommodation buildings going up seemingly every day Coventry's history isn't being lost which is great to see!

No mention of Naul's MIll Park, my favourite park in Coventry, and no mention of the Canal Basin and the walk alongside the canal. In fact you missed lots of interesting things to see and do in the Coventry area, like Brandon Marsh nature reserve and Wyken Slough.

This seems very selective; mainly showing the medieval stuff. Earlier today I watched another tour of the centre of Coventry and it looked an absolute concrete dump! It was like looking at a third world ghetto. Very thuggish and unsafe looking place, which I am sure the council probably describes as 'vibrant' and 'cosmopolitan'. The people walking past the camera seemed to have no manners or consideration. Just............unsavoury.

You are right, but how this city of our's is classed as a " city of culture " is beyond SCIENCE FICTION.
