Although not very old, they show a number of changes in the city centre that people may find interesting.

Really good shots, you`re right it has changed quite a bit in a very short time.
Great piece of recent history, nice one for posting. |

We had many a happy Christmas party in that canteen. ![]() |

Foxcote Warwick All posts by this member | 11 of 251 Sat 13th Oct 2012 3:20pm Member: Joined Jan 2012 Total posts:900 I have found this site - English Heritage photos of Coventry - the 'Coventry' search came up with 182 images. There are a lot of old street photo's that I haven't seen before (about halfway in, between cathedral shots). Worth taking a peek. I would like to know more about some of the streets, if anyone has memories of them, there's Russell St, Wellington, Rudge, Bury, Butts, Brook and quite a few more. |
