I regularly used to do these with my daughter. We had some really great times, but for some reason we nearly always ended up climbing Coventry Cathedral spire!

IMO, these days ought be far more frequent. we have a lot that the general public don't normally see.

I went to see a couple of places in Stratford - the Town Hall & Harvard House. The Town Hall had a really interesting exhibition on some major local companies - Flowers Brewery, NCJ Engineering and Alveston Kitchens. It was interesting to see Harvard House now the pewter collection has gone, and to discover a bit of it's history.
