Neil, don't laugh but as soon as I saw the above photo, I was transformed and found myself standing on that very pavement, maybe that year too. It was seeing the old Coventry buses driving by and I remembered walking down that side of Corporation Street. It could have been just a few minutes ago. After 46 years one never forgets where one’s heart lies. Thank you for that. ![]() |

Yes, Dream and you had just come from Agers with another pair of shoes! Am I right? |

Most likely, Prof, but I am ashamed to say smart footwear was always a weakness of mine. ![]() ![]() |

This image shows Corporation Street on a cool night in 1965. I'm intrigued as to the Standard car showroom on the left hand side - adjacent to Agers shoe shop, I think. Can anyone please enlighten me? - it was two years before I came to the city to work for Coventry Climax. TIA.

Not very helpful but some point between July 1931 and May 1935. |

They seem to be advertising from the end of 1934, calling it the New gas showrooms |
