Such a shame that the Griffin has gone. There was a little row of cottages to the rear of the pub. In 1963, when I was 15, I had a beautiful girlfriend, Linda who lived there. Strange to think of the passing of so much time. Wonderful memories of the skating rink, snooker hall, Saracens and the Ritz. |

The double-fronted house on the right is the former Hanson's butchers shop, which now looks like this

A forum member has asked me to scan some old photos and post them on here, in the hope that they may be of interest - perhaps a member recognises themself or a relative or friend, or can just put names to some of the faces

That I am sure is Windmill Road School in 2nd photo, Longford Park beyond the railings.
Also some more Longford kids at the old Grange Hurst prior to it being demolished. This was taken around 1976 , the teacher in the centre was Mrs Wright or White, I cannot recall exactly, my son was in this photo as it was his class teacher who was lovely I must say. Last year I saw her at Salem Church, not changed a bit. Sorry about photo not being very clear.

Can you give me a rough idea of the years these photos were taken please?
My grandmother came from Longford, so, there's a chance either her or her brothers/sisters could be on them. Researching: Burdett, Shaw, Hyett, Dawson, Johnson and Smith in the Coventry area

The majority of the Coventry Sephtons appear to be descended from James Sephton, a canal boatbuilder, who arrived in the Hawkesbury area c1805 from Shardlow in Derbyshire.
As for the family members mentioned above: Colin Sephton lived in Woolgrove Street (off Windmill Road), and Clara Sephton was the daughter of Walter Sephton who ran the Boat Inn (Black Horse Road) for nearly fifty years.
My mum recognised the name Colin Sephton, her family lived in Windmill Rd, their name was Collins |
