Best and Worst in Coleshill, Warwickshire*

Coleshill, Warwickshire Triumphs and Tragedies

Favourite Building

• The Church probably, but several nice 'old cottages' on the High Street and about the town.
• the coach!
• Quite a few old buildings, the church is pretty cool.
• there isnt 1!
• Why the medieval St Peter's and St Paul's Church of course!

Demolish It Now Building

• Bairstow Eves estate agents. Don't ask.
• the bell inn and coleshill school, coleshill school was the most horrible time off my life, full of fascist pigs!
• Coleshill comprehensive school, the building shakes in the wind, it can't be safe, and it is covered in an interesting colour scheme of yellow ochre, light blue and terquoise.
• THE COLESHILL SCHOOL!!!! i go there and its falling apart
• The Coleshill School, it's over 70% asbestos, you know, and it also discriminates against people in wheelchairs. We think the asbestos is needed due to all the pot smoking going on in the school

The Best Things

• Coleshill is a nice quiet place, surrounded by some beautiful countryside. It obviously has some problems as does the majority of Britain but basically a nice litle town with nice friendly residents.
• well i may of mentioned dis before, but the coach is one cool plae because its got the smooth brew XI! i also like the church cuz its a cool building, but i h8 the croft! Also there are some pretty wicked country walks to take a six pack on!
• the cameo, it a good laugh. believe me.
• the best thing about Coleshill has to be the pavements- oh yes, that's correct- the pavements. These are not just your bog-standard, concrete, pot-hole infested pavements- no where near good enough for us, upmarket Coleshillians, we get block paving- all the way down the High street!-Jealous?- You should be.
• The bus service out of it.

The Worst Things

• The person who wrote all the horrid comments about Coleshill. If you hate it so much - MOVE!! And if you already have, good riddance.
• rude boyz, dey come over from the wood n castle brom, dunno y but they are all 10 years old drinkin cider down da park!
• the coffie shop, have you tried the hot chocolate???????!!!!!!!
• The worst thing about Coleshill has to be it's collosal population of 'rudes.' A 'rude' or 'rudie' is a strange creature who has no personal interests or pastimes whatsoever except for the odd bit of vandalism, drug abuse or guzzeling a large amount of alcoholic beverages, (usually cheap cider as that is all their job at somerfield will fund) which usually takes place in the parks of our wonderful town. A hobby of the average rudie is 'tagging,' this generally includes the rudes thinking of an effective code-name for themselves and scarring every clean surface they encounter, an animal-like ritual that is not dissimalar from marking one's territory by urinating over everything). A 'rudie' is easily spotted thanks to their unique dress sense and overall style. The average rude sports a big colourful anorak (all year round), excruciatingly tight jeans in anything but neutral colours, a pair of walking boots graced by pulling their socks over the ends of their trousers and a mobile or two is always glued to their ears. (This is not a stereotype they ALL do look the same). But it is guaranteed you will always hear a rude before you see one, with their demonic babble that is bellowed at 6,000 decobels and feared by all. If you are thinking of moving to Coleshill, please, if you have a weak stomach or cardiac related problems do reconsider as you may not get out alive.
• The pub crawl when you start off at the Wheatsheaf Harvester and end up at the George and Dragon...it is a needless uphill struggle. I have tried to get in touch with Thora Hird to see if she can sell me one of those stairlifts she advertises.
• The sad refugees from Castle Bromwich and Chelmsley Wood who insist on lowering the tone of the town and would most likely be beaten to death in their own neighbourhoods

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
