More mystery scenes

So on a more cheerful note - this picture is of the carved doorway for a building on St John's Street and my guess is that it's for the pub called the British Queen. It might be a carving and be very old or it might be a painting and contemporary with the sketch - early to mid 1800s. Does the lady ring a bell? Queen Victoria? Margaret of Anjou? The sign may have been created for the pub or the pub may have been named after the sign.

Anyone identify these from the 1907 Godiva Procession? (Rob these are temp links direct from FB hence size so will go after a period and hopefully not hold up any of our bandwidth).

If you Google '1907 Godiva Procession' there's a number of images, including some postcards on eBay Here's one

Thanks Cliff but I was more after the location?

It's not the inner city as far as I can tell. None of it rings a bell. Could it be Foleshill, Bedworth or Nuneaton?

This is the 1907 route from www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk, Midland Daily Telegraph. The route is the named streets. The procession was planned to start at 12.00.

Another from the same area. Colin's Cornucopia has a different one in Queens Road and the building in the background was the factory of Alfred Herbert. Could these be round there?

I realised that, Neil, and was looking for some help off t'internet I can't recognise the locations of your images

The picture with the elephant is in the book Godiva's Heritage and it says it is Cox Street. The same building is in Helen's picture.

You've nailed it Anne. It is Cox Street. The building with the fancy balustrade was part of/just to the south of the Sydenham Palace PH in 1888. The older building to the right is a Stevengraph silk works. Possibly by 1907 it was the Excelsior cycle works. Location.

No problem Neil - bandwidth is unlimited now (it wasn't at one time) - it's only the storage space that has a limit..... but we're hopefully some years from filling it yet !

Great work all and especially Anne! (again!)

Helen / all. Following my earlier posts in other threads, another couple arose that I have been unable to identify. Over to the experts please!

It's a tough one. There were a lot of slum demolitions during that period both within the city and further out. The building on the left of the 2nd photo is much newer than the one on the right. A significant feature is the older being flush against the street but the newer one having a recess. Another is the sharp fall down from the road. The yard is quite wide and free of outbuildings that many had. I'll think about it.

A quick browse of the 1905 newspapers reveals a report in September that a total of 442 houses had been condemned under the Housing of the Working Classes Act
