Coleshill, Warwickshire Famous Residents

Cringing Cult of Celebrity (Famous residents and ex-residents.)

• Christina Tingy - Generation upon generation has been plagued by that name! Many of the older generation hold the key, but it is mere playground banter to the younger!
• 62pennies, Soni-Quella --- good bands
• barbara henderson-ex eve mail columnist-really nice-sounds very posh.
• i heard a rumour that pat sharp lives in number 32 stonebridge road!
• A few Aston villa players no doubt live around here, they also occasionally visit, as they seem to think that the people of Coleshill actually want them here,I certainly don't, or, if you are really having problems sleeping, the Villa training ground is only a few miles away, and they always welcome an audience when they are training.
• Joe Gallagher, (ex Wolves and Blues) lives in Coleshill. He tried to chat up my bird in 1992 when he was managing a five-a-side football centre near the airport and she told him to F*** O**. I have always gone for intellectual girls who can wittily put someone down with a well thought out and original caustic comment. I pet poor Joe was quaking in his boots..bless him. He works at Land Rover now on the track. When he is not trying to nick my bird he is nicking my paper. He picked up the last Sunday People in Dillons about three weeks ago, I had to opt for one of the crappy broadsheets instead. Ex-Birmingham Evening Mail columist Barbara Henderson lives in Coleshill, I did a bit of am-dram with her and she is now known as Bobbie Collison ?
• It was rumoured that Mark Bosnich was living in the huge mansion behind the Lloyds-TSB bank on Coleshill high street.

Buskers, Street Entertainers

• The girl once seen selling the Big Issue outside Somerfield managed to get a laugh out of passers-by. Other than that nothing.

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.
