Can't find Douglas Square, the only Cross Street I can find is running north from the end of Vine Street to Harnall Lane East.

I reckon this is it. The image is from the 1935/6 Coventry directory.

Also, in the 1960 directory it gives the following;
Cross Street
9. Reid A. Douglas Square
10. Richards P C. Douglas Square.
No other entries.

Thanks, all! Found it! Cross Street was effectively a continuation of Vine Street towards Harnall Lane, and Douglas Square was halfway along on the eastern side

I don't know the date of this Coventry street guide/map but I was told it was from the sixties.
It shows Cross Street and I've marked where Douglas Square most probably was sited. Maybe others can shed light on it?
