People need to forget there old views on what Coventry was like and see for themselves, it’s beautiful now we have so many brilliant places to visit , Fargo , music museum etc , the city centre is looking very good , lots of work still going on, but it was buzzing on Saturday, proud to be from Coventry
Coventry was nice, now it’s a dump. There aren’t many whites but the remaining whites are all chavs and nittys
My home city, I miss coventry but I'm loving life in liverpool living with my mum and step-dad, we are visiting coventry in the summer and I cannot wait to come back home ❤️
Love the explanations about the buildings and monument. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So nice helped a lot to know the place beautiful 😊 and thanks to you for the effort
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed
really don't understand why some people make it seem like Coventry is a hell pit
it's really nice here for the most part, there's alot of things to do, the people are really nice for the most part
There's been lots of improvements even in just the one year I've been here
Brought up in Cov. Love it still.

Grew up there, good place, i agree Combe abbey is very nice. Now live in Carmarthenshire, also a great place to live.

Beautiful sharing love Coventry 👌👍🙂
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed, Coventry is always good fun!
The Specials!
And I been to the Herbert art
Gallerybefore as well
I been to this Cathedral on my school trip. It broke down on world war 2
I was born in Coventry from 1964 -2002
I Went Coundon infant/junior then Coundon court schools.
From leaving school I worked In a varied field of work furniture shop food shop PARKSIDE garage Warwick road and post office and then community transport and finally a taxi driver /private hire driver.
Loved that some great cars were built there like Jaguar Triumph and Singer Humber were my father worked for 32 years..
We lived close to Jaguar factory with the WEDGE and just down the road Holyhead road where Alvis factory was my mum worked there some years prior to having me and my sister across the road was Carbodies the famous London taxi.
So much was made in and around Coventry
I remember In geography doing social Geography I learned so much And as car factories vanished New buildings would appear like out of town shopping.
I believe the best bit was Standard / Triumph as the streets around that area were called by the cars produced there like Dolomite way and Herald Close Vanguards way But to name a few.
Great video thank you
Im glad you enjoyed! I think the old motor industry is my favourite part if Coventry's history, and I'm happy there is still evidence of it in Coventry today, despite new university accommodation buildings going up seemingly every day Coventry's history isn't being lost which is great to see!
🚙 My David worked at Triumph 🚘
I've been to the old cothidrel
What about if you don't like looking at old religious buildings?
yayy! 300 likes !
Will soon come In sha Allah
Muslims out.
@@jononpaper we will soon takeover 😉
@@Khalid7a OK but please be employed and clean british toilets
I’m from Coventry there’s legit fuck all to do there the only interesting thing is the history form ww2 and the naked woman on a horse in the city centre
I think it is a decent city for its size.
One of its biggest problems is the moaning bastards.
Thankfully, they are in the minority though.
Most of the people are sound.
@@jimmorrison2657 I am sure you come from a long line of bastards,so you would know.
daniel donegan Shit comment, but no worries 👍

No mention of the War Memorial Park?
There was a brief mention at the end.

Get your facts right Meriden a village outside Coventry is the century of England I was born and bred in Coventry I haven't lived there for 30 years
⭐ I was born in Keresley Meriden 🌙
I have Brother's in Bournville& Rugby only one in Coventry 🌞

I wouldn't let the squirrels eat out of your hand they can bite extremely hard you would be surprised.
I don't remember squirrels when I lived there.
there are lots of them around the cathedral alot of the time
@@BassBanj0 protecting it...
Very nice, 👏

Things to do in Coventry:
1: Leave.
I agree, it is a SHI.. Hole
@@danieldonegan9826 🌞 It look's nice in place's, but I have been beat by groups, while minding my own business loads& the last time 1997 while heading to a taxi from a hotel 9.30pm, I lost a tooth had a broken collar bone fractured ribs & 18 stitches in my head . I wasn't robbed they had fun 😐
@Green Tea ⭐ You have no chance if there's a group to be honest & I have multiple physical disabilities which between them cause me to easily be injured& to fall off my feet etc 🌙
@@simonedgbaston that sucks i hope ur okay now
@@cwningen🌤Took years to recover still on tablets for my Mental health. Then Birmingham even up here near Harborne gets worse muggings stabbings & no policing due to the cuts for over a decade& everywhere. 🦋
Love from India
I was there until I was 9. I never went back. From what I have heard I never want to. A violent dump of a place. I live in paradise these days.
getting stabbed is my fave thing to do in coventry
young man that is very disrespectful please delete this comment before i get the authorities and the council safe space officer on this
Or beat senseless by a huge group of thug's if your alone any night 🤣😂😂🤣
@I To plenty mate why?
@@DRATDROT you cannot ask people to delete comments
@@NotSoJamie yes i can, delete your comment
1 month waste experience Coventry better to move to Birmingham or London outskirts
The phoneix ..... wouldnt recommend it if you dont drink loooool
City of culture 2021, I live here, Its a horrid place, I'm just a normal working class guy, no gang affiliations, no designer gangster clothes just a normal guy you'd walk past everydayand I have been attacked twice, 1st time was near Wyken croft primary school where I was knocked out by a group of thugs who had just left the Wyken pippin i was only 14 at the time on my way home from school at around 5pm,the 2nd time (November 2016) it was a gang of youths all masked up who asked me why I was hyping it (never said a word or looked at them) and then I was hit from behind with a bat of some sort which agian knocked me out and broke my jaw and my cheekbone, the proceeded to punch my female partner in the stomach as she tried to stop them from stamping on me, the police could not give a fuck, they said wrong place wrong time what do you want us to do about it!?, would you want to visit this hell hole!? I DARE you to walk around at night 😂
shiiit. i want to come to study to coventry uni there. is it rlly that bad? :/
@@elizab3te No, it’s even worse. His paragraph was an understatement
I'm sincerely glad I don't live there any more. Get out. Run far, run fast...it will only get worse.
i literally only stay here cuz of my friends, i wanna move out so bad
@@cwningen same
1. Leave 😂
hey man nice picture.did you find any weed over there?
everything? you didn't do anything
#1: *leave*
Wow. Thank god I left cov as a small child. I love Coventry but this is just clutching at straws to say it's not a complete shit tip. We all know it is.
YES we do , THANK YOU for your honesty. Something we do not get from our corrupt council, who are all looking to be taking even more back-handers this year.
I left there as a small child too. And I thank my lucky stars I never had to go back. And after seeing this I never will. It's a dump with some nice old bits. No thanks. I live in paradise now.
@@johnblackhawk2951 where do you live at the moment?
Can't understand anything the girl is saying. Her accent is undecipherable. And I'm English. The music is very annoying and I can't mute it otherwise I'll miss the narration! No mention of Naul's MIll Park, my favourite park in Coventry, and no mention of the Canal Basin and the walk alongside the canal. In fact you missed lots of interesting things to see and do in the Coventry area, like Brandon Marsh nature reserve and Wyken Slough.
I live here and it’s boring
I live there it sucks, better than a third world country obviously but not nice by any stretch
Coventry looks like a shit hole now! Its gone down hill all the beautiful scenery has gone now its just a student city full of student accommodations everywhere.
This seems very selective; mainly showing the medieval stuff. Earlier today I watched another tour of the centre of Coventry and it looked an absolute concrete dump! It was like looking at a third world ghetto. Very thuggish and unsafe looking place, which I am sure the council probably describes as 'vibrant' and 'cosmopolitan'. The people walking past the camera seemed to have no manners or consideration. Just............unsavoury.
I've lived here for nearly a year and it's nothing like that
it's really nice, the people are really nice, there's lots to do
it's nothing like what some people want you to believe
@@BassBanj0 I stand corrected and bow to your superior knowledge!! I suppose every town or city has bad parts.
@@BassBanj0 lived here my whole life, it’s a fucking shit tip. And one wrong turn and you’ve got someone robbing u at knife point
Amazing city? 😆 😆 😆
There is nothing to do in Coventry. Depression in every corner, the ugliest and most boring place on earth!
Awesome 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Why is everything brown? This video makes me not want to go to Coventry, ever. Looks like a depressing place to be.
@@yesthen2704 boy what the hell boy
@@cwningen it’s true
@@yesthen2704 fuck off purple aki, what you mean by everyone’s brown? Come meet at at a park and see if that changes your mind
Shit hole i live here
Horrible music
Too much rubbish spouted to list here but fits with the City of "Culture" thing. What to do? No mention of getting stabbed or shot strangely, common activities that make this Cov Kid weep.
Wtf are you on about? These are things all of us can enjoy and celebrate about the city. Clearly a positive and informative video where’s you just come here to trash cov for no reason. And by the way only a tiny minority of people are victims of violent crime
You are right, but how this city of our's is classed as a " city of culture " is beyond SCIENCE FICTION. I put this new woke image of coventry down to the fact that half of " those " here now are from far flung parts of the planet. They know nothing about cov and are just going with the council bull sh.t.
A real shame 🌞
@Green Tea ⭐ Are you aware of the cut's to policing under austerity since 2010 ?🌙
Something in this country changed in 2001. And got worse in 2005, and then got EVEN WORSE in 2011 and it’s never been the same since
Great video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
