Love this pic of a cracking Jaguar Mk.7 (so presuming this is late 50s/early 60s - but what was that building in the background to the right at the time - presumably on Pepper Lane?
You can see it here west of the Golden Cross (so why did it go?) -
Now this shows a rebuilt Coventry City centre to be admired, with Lady Godiva proudly centrally displayed & bus stops again sensibly located around the perimeter, at that time my mum worked in one of the pre-fab ( cake?) shops. As a Coventry kid after the blitz I loved the rebuild but when I returned a number of years later, I was shocked by what greeted me, I seem to remember that Lady Godiva was under a tent !! seemingly pushed to the side. ?? Centre character destroyed.!
