Oooh, it does sound like Coventry (for Warwick, natch), but is that too obvious? |
Oooh. Post war bombing. Are you in Coventry? |
Frank Whittle - born in Coventry. Inventor of the jet engine. Not exactly much loved transport, though. |
In that case I seem to do disasterously badly at guessing these mystery tours. This is the second time I have been over-confidently wrong and I have to admit I am now totally baffled. As Sarah has pointed out, the dangers of reading too much into a statement ! |
Yes, sounds very much like Coventry. Cathedral's nice, but there's very little else of interest. I'd say DG should take the train back down towards Leamington Spa - much nicer place ![]() I did wonder if it was Southampton on the first post, and the start of this one, but guess I'll have to wait till another day for a DG visit down this way ![]() |
I'm a bit puzzled by the bridge comment though. Anyone know? |
Not a clue. I'm convinced DG is in the Midlands because of the canals but the bridge bit is throwing me as well. |
Foot bridge on the way to the canal basin in Coventry, perhaps? If it is Coventry, then Transport Museum is worth a look. (It's free!) |
Only bridge I can think of is a rather scary pedestrian footbridge over a main road between the canal basin and the city centre. First/highest/wobbliest pedestrian footbridge? I'm just being silly aren't I. |
Newcastle? The Tyne Bridge, George Stephenson. Dunno about the church bit (coals to Newcastle is the only one I know about the place) or where the station is. If it IS Newcastle, I wan't my prize in booktoens. Or Blue Peter Badges. |
I think DG has indeed been sent to Coventry. |
Home of my childhood! I hope that's where he is. |
Bristol? It does have an impressive bridge, right? |
You know, it could be Chichester - that has a canal & a cathedral! |
While I appreciate the benefits of a jet engine for travelling from Toronto to London, I certainly wouldn't call it "much loved". The much-loved bicycle, however, was also developed in Coventry by James Stanley and his nephew J. K. Stanley (who went on to found the less-loved Rover company). They started with Penny Farthings and moved on to the Safety Bicycle (chain drive and equal sized wheels). |
