Aerial views of Coventry

There are some interesting pictures of Coventry in non-Coventry newspapers. This is from a 1958 copy of The Sphere, a London paper

A good transition photo between the post war photos and modern satellite views.

Great rare image pre-ring road looking over towards Nauls Mill - showing Upper Well Street / Lamb Street / Gas Street and the Gas Tavern etc.

Rob's pic. Another interesting view.

Would love to see the modern view of this prof. I'd take it myself but my mobility scooter doesn't do stairs.

Compliments of Google Street View (c2015 - before 'The Wave'). Peter.

Thanks, Peter In case anyone has difficulty with the link...

Thanks for that MR, I have just flown over the rooftops in 20 mins. I shall take longer next time.

This is a beautiful photo that looks like a painting. I visit Coventry fairly often but I haven't been on this side for a long time. Where does the walkway from the Council House lead to?

Nowhere It's been gone for a few years now. Used to link the Council House to civic offices across the road. Have a look here

1949

That will keep me busy for a while Prof, many thanks.

Hi Prof, hi everyone. What's the premises in the foreground to the left of Hertford Street, it looks like some sort of delivery area/storage yard?
