A photo I took in 1984 from the corner of High Street showing someone peering down this very well. The side of Owen Owen (now Primark) can be seen on the left, with the framework of what is now J.D. Wetherspoons (right-centre) just visible through the trees.

Can anyone recall the ruins that were there at this time and what they were actually of?

I don't know the ruins, not sure if the well was just a public well out on the pavement of Broadgate????

This one links in well to the image I posted earlier pre-Cathedral Lanes, only further to the left.

That view up showing the front of the bank is another reason to dislike CL.

According to this article, Cathedral Lanes is now home to "the city's thriving new dining quarter" Cheers

Even though nothing will change my view that it should never have been constructed in that position, it is excellent news that it now enjoys this success Sadly, my age and location suggest that I shall never be able to sample its delights, so I look forward to other commentators' reviews of some of the dining places Smile

We use Cathedral Lanes a lot now and tend to eat out in Coventry rather than travel elsewhere. In fact this weekend gone we went there twice! The restaurants there always seem busy and they've also made Broadgate much livelier at night. Looking forward to the rest of the work - which I believe involves improving the back of the building.
