Rob Orland Historic Coventry All posts by this member | 152 of 172 Thu 10th Dec 2020 10:00am Webmaster: Joined Jan 2010 Total posts:1653 I've spotted what claims to be a Coventry photo of 1969 on the Delcampe website (a French-based auction site, which occasionally comes up with Coventry gems) - but I have to confess, I can't work out whereabouts in Coventry it is - if it is indeed actually Coventry! I even tried mirroring the image, just in case, but that only forces the traffic to drive/ride on the wrong side of the road! I'm starting to wonder if it really is here at all.

The building near left looks a little bit like MH&W on Hales Street but obviously not that and rear left akin to some of the properties that were on White Street but I'm thinking it’s not Cov. Good shout with that website though, a strange place to find old Cov gems! ![]() |

Yes, the website has some interesting stuff that isn't on the eBay circuit. ![]() |

I haven't copied this, I've just linked to it, so it will disappear eventually.

And to add another - I've an idea we've seen this one before but cannot recall what was the outcome. It's cropped up on FB - New Buildings/Palmer Lane?
