Shakespeare has Prince Hal meeting Falstaff on the road to Coventry, bluff Sir John being born here.
I wrote a history of Coventry some years ago it's here : History of Coventry

I was particularly taken by your note that "After WW2 over 350 buildings remained dated prior to 1700. Today there are 34". Says it all really about the Muppets in the planning offices doesn't it? |
