The Ropewalk wall surrounds on the ring-road always make me think of Alcatraz too - huge imposing chunks of rock. All these criminal associations I'm making?!

That wall hides what was meant to be a 'goods in entrance' visable from the lower and second floor of the ropewalk carpark when it was being built but for some reason now it resembles a new carpark for i belive Staff.....

[b]RUM?[/b] Someone mentioned rum?

Hi guys,
Hope we're all well? :)
I didn't know that cathi. I know there's always been strong connections with textiles and mining here. Not much piracy and smuggling rum though. :D :rolleyes:

Ropewalk has a historical significance to Nuneaton. Iread it somewhere.
I'm blowed if Ican remember what it is now , but it's something to do with rope making Ithink-surprise surprise-
I'm sure someone knows out there
Any way -the name is boring-it's a boring place--just like any other new- town developement.
Slick, shiny and boring--no romance at all in the design.
