Best things about your home town

[Flick of the Elbow]

Birmingham for me -
Reynolds 531
Gas Street Basin
Tiswas
The Archers
James Watt and Matthew Boulton
The Shire, otherwise known as Sarehole Mill
British Leyland - yes I know, but it was so much part of my childhood I can't help but feel fond of it
Earlswood Lakes, a favourite cycling destination in my youth

What are yours ?

Ellesmere Port- The best thing is that I don't have to live there anymore!

My serious answer- It's proximity to North Wales, the Peaks, the Lakes, the coast.

Me too. Although my friends from there are still the best 40 years later

Its been over 40years since I left my home town and moved to Coventry so I've no idea. In fact with how long I've been here I suspect Coventry now qualifies as my home town. If so then the best bit is my family and friends plus the network of small lanes that surround it.

I don't understand the concept "home town". Could someone help?

I well remember Coventry from my student days in the early 80's. The time I first saw the cross in the ruins of the old cathedral really stopped me in my tracks. A powerful image.

It's flat
It isn't London

I never miss Cheshire Oaks!
