Bericote Lane with Nishan Sahib This view over Bericote Lane, Blackdown, looking towards Bericote Wood, is framed by a pair of saffron-coloured Nishan Sahib flags, the 'exalted ensign' of the Khalsa Panth of initiated Sikhs. They stand outside the entrance to the Baba Ke gurdwara or Sikh temple on the northern outskirts of Leamington Spa, which is unusual in Britain for its rural setting.
