There's a post box. I wonder if that's still there....?

I think I've worked out where it is on an old photo.

Now to see if I can pinpoint it on Google Maps.

I think it's the very top end of Kenninghall Road.

I went up Kenninghall Road, last Wednesday. Excited

I went up in a car but, even in a car, it gave me a mild vertigo attack.

It is still there.

Mysterious circular structure next to where the foreground tower block used to be:

I suspect it's a fun-filled concrete play area.

Here is that circular structure on an old photo:

Ooh. Some good investigative work there. It all looks rather more bland these days, if a bit more pleasant I guess.

Two abandoned and rotting 1940s/50s(?) cars just permanently parked on the side of an ordinary residential street!

I wouldn't have thought such things would be tolerated in Leamington Spa.

But if they were tolerated, it definitely would be in the shape of cars from about 70 years ago.

A lime green Citroen DS anyone? flirty

by Butterfield Wed Aug 31, 2022 1:39 am

That was 2018 - it's parked there 10 years earlier in 2008 too! Complete with gentleman's hat and obligatory road atlas on the parcel shelf.

A road atlas is no good on the parcel shelf. It needs to be on the passenger seat so you can turn the pages without looking at them while driving.

Mmmm. I used to keep mine on the back seat behind the passenger seat so I could easily reach it if needed when driving.

Not to mention it comes flying forward from the parcel shelf in the unfortunate event of a crash!
