There are some good photographs in today's Coventry Telegraph - can somebody help me and post a link please? |

I realise that Bedworth is not part of Coventry (although the planners are fast filling in any gaps with houses) but it is important to show that the people of this country do remember those who perished in war. |

(Same with the Priory Street Baths image.) ![]() |

If any member of the forum would like to take a walk up to the Grove, stand in the similar position to the photographer - look very closely at the tree tops rightish and centre back and identify the two branches with the 'kinks' near the top. Surely they cannot be the same trees???? I wonder how much trees of this kind develop in 100 years. Do I need to continue taking my pills??![]() |
