The big hill at Nuneaton

The Mountain scenes in Crossroads were filmed up there. Benny and Miss Diane won the luge and were halfway along the Longshoot before the tea tray skidded to a halt!
 
According to Wiki.
In 2018 a Daily Mirror poll, voted it the best landmark in the UK........I'm not having that.
Good to see you today Walt, didn’t realize think terry wogan mentioned it.

My old mate Mick Gilbert had to extract a body out of the stone crusher at Judkins

My grandad spent 50+ years hewing granite from that quarry in the ownership of Boon's next door. Old man Boon had kept my grandad in favour by talking to him above his peers and promising him a special gold watch award. When it came to it, Grandad received a watch which although engraved was no more special nor gold than an ordinary timepiece bought from a local jeweller. Grandad took it well, as he was wont to do (he was a beautiful man), but he left shortly afterwards to work at a rival quarry on a fair bit more money.

I have never been able to trace descendants of the Boons in order to extract my own revenge. Wankers.

(FAO Soho - that'll be Gr Gadsby.)

BLUE ARMY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
