    Default Leamington Spa Mentioned on Radio Slovakia International WW2 series

    On April 15th 2020 RSI English service broadcasted another episode in their history series about WW2 mentioning Jephson Gardens and the Czechoslovakian soldiers memorial fountain in the park.
    The Leamington Spa part on the broadcast begins around 20:45 minutes and ends about 24:05 minutes.

    Hopefully the link will work.

    The link was fine, Al. It was very interesting about Leamington Spa.

    There's a lot of local material out there on foreign sites that people often overlook when searching for information or pictures.

    That was an interesting piece, thanks for the share.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    Definitely I agree. Radio Prague English service has also had accounts about the fountain in the past as well which I was grateful in hearing about it.
