| 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 wonder if I can find out exactly which street that is and see what it looks like now, via Streetview? I think it's the very top end of Kenninghall Road. _________________ |

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

| Mysterious circular structure next to where the foreground tower block used to be:
I suspect it's a fun-filled concrete play area. _________________ |

| 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. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| 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. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

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! |
