More mystery scenes

Hi NeilsYard, I cycled past today and the Covenant Restoration Assembly Chapel in Upper Spon Street is a possible match. It has the low roof and the "two slope" buttresses. I couldn't get a view of the windows as it is too set back. Old maps suggest is was built between 1889 and 1906 which may be a bit late as the photo looks more 1850's to me. Peter.

I think that it is that sort of building Peter but currently the windows are wrong. Very odd windows in the photo. It looks like the building was rendered and painted (with secondary glazing ). Might have been like the mortuary chapel of St Peter at Nuthurst. They don't seem that rare as a design.

#99 Neil I am wondering if it might be the Baptist Chapel in Parkgate Road? I had a school friend who attended this church and saw him baptised.

There's an interesting postcard on ebay at the moment (I have no connection to it) of the Buckingham Hygienic Patent Steam Bakery. Assuming it is Coventry and that it wasn't just printed there, does anyone know the address? Looking at the clothes, it's early. Just the street would help.

The only references I can find in the newspaper is 54 Earlsdon Street in 1958 and an article in 1947 about them making God cakes and being an old Earlsdon bakery. Now found them in the early 20th century, his main bakery was at 40 Spon Street.

In a 1913 directory they are listed as G Buckingham at 54 Earlsdon Street and at 40 Spon Street. I can only remember them at Earlsdon Street in the 1940's and 50's as first rate bakers.

J S Godfrey took over the shop at 40 Spon Street in the 1920's. There is a picture on pinterest of the shop which looks like the same building. Search for Godfrey 40 Spon Street

From the age of the building in the postcard it looks like Spon Street. Earlsdon Street would have been newer.

Well done Anne and Argon. Master detectives! 40 Spon Street it is. It does match the picture of Godfrey's and one in the library of number 40 from further away. It's older though. What a team

Well done all. I can never find anything on Pinterest - is there a link?

Hi Neil Can anyone ever find anything on Pinterest except by accident? I found the picture on page 38 of Spon Street & Spon End by John Ashby - a must for those interested in that area.

How many other members of the Forum had to search to find out what 'Triticumina' bread was??

Yes I did Harrier, a type of mutant bread wheat. There is plenty of info on it for those who wish to know.

Here is a link Neil - 40 Spon Street
