We've occupied 14 bulidings in the city centre in that time. Seven of these are still standing, including our current home, Kirby House in Little Park Street.
We're finding it hard to find photos of some of the homes we have lost, I'd appreciate any help!
Barbican Chambers 33a Earl Street (we lost this home in the November 1940 blitz)
2 Landsdowne Terrace, Warwick Road and 45 Warwick Road (both demolished in the 60s for the ring road near the station)
Fleet House, Corporation Street (demolished to make way for the lower precinct car park)
Thanks in advance for any clues!

Hi Helen
thanks for this, really helpful. I think 33a was actually a building behind 33, I've seen the Bunney water colour, so the access was though a passage to a yard behind. I think Barbican chambers was an office building in front of a factory. Just to the right of your Britain from the Air picture is a tall, three storey building with either a dormer window or a roof decoration, I think that's it!
