Forum Features & Updates

A small but hopefully significant improvement to "Rob's pics" image library.... Apart from a sprinkling of new images, it is now possible to exclude words from a search by preceding them with a minus sign. For instance, if you wish to see pictures of Butcher Row, but don't want images of Little Butcher Row getting in the way, then search for butcher -little. Similarly, entering hill street -primrose will find Hill Street, and exclude Primrose Hill Street. Hope this is useful.

More images added recently - over 50 more since you probably last looked!

Ah, thank you so much Dougie, you're very kind! Regarding my collection.... I'm mindful that our members like the convenience of being able to access photos "on site", and some are not so familiar with the quirky ways of the new Coventry Digital website, so I'm trying to make as much available here as I can, and where possible, copyright-free.

Since I last posted in this thread I've done a bit more scanning, and 67 more images are in my collection - including the 49 Dr. Troughton sketches from Mary Dormer Harris' book. I think I know who might enjoy those most!

Little happy dance. They should issue a book with the rest. Smashing Rob The 1896 Architect's drawing alternatives for the Council House are interesting, especially the Earl Street stretch. It shows an early front to Wheelers and one of the remaining Earl Street Shops on the left.

Great additions Rob!
