Ever wonder why the sundial on the side of #NorthgateHouse on #CapeRoad is 16.94 seconds slow? Well, it’s to commemorate the Great Fire of #Warwick in 1694, which destroyed the inn and cottages previously on this site, and it’s thought to have damaged a further 250-460 houses.

Warwick's Unbelievable History @warwickUhistory

On this day in 1983, an oversized balloon broke free from an industrial unit on #CattellRoad #Warwick - where Spanna & Son's had been experimenting with a new range of novelty products. It became lodged under the railway bridge on #CapeRoad, causing several hours of delays.
