Is this High St corner in the foreground?
Ah, whoever put that online had visited this Now and Then page of mine! |

NeilsYard,
Your photo on post 83 - a bomb struck right where that fellow's crossing the road outside the bank. |

There were about four bollards between Martins Bank and the next building that stopped motor bikes and the like from entering Pepper Lane. Each side of the bank was flattened, the crater on the corner of Broadgate difficult for the fire engines to enter the High Street, they brushed the pillars of the National. I believe the King had a lot trouble through the High Street, then he found he was walking on glass at the Council House and had lunch by candlelight - he would certainly remember good old Cov. |

Now that one I do like Prof. What is more fitting at the front of the Council House than a lovely layout of gardens. |

At the time my father brought his last horse-drawn boat into the Coventry basin (1910), Coventry was a bustle of horses and carts of all sizes and shapes. The fashionably dressed crowd strolling unconcernedly, and the slow horse-drawn traffic around Broadgate, would be a picture hard for us to capture.
Tram-like omnibuses, with open stairs at the back, about six rows of bench seats facing forward, the two drivers in front of them upstairs, the reigns flowing down to the horses, the drivers more probably in top-hats.
Possibly a bread cart with its two large wheels at the back, two smaller ones at the front, the covered cart having an extension over the driver. An open dray, all manner of carts and drays going about their business.
The omnibus company would have stables and spare horses, five or six blacksmiths, more likely in the High Street, at the old site of the White Bear Inn coaching premises, later rebuilt as the Craven Arms Hotel but retaining the old wooden beamed stables, and the ancient front.
Truly a scene I would liked to have witnessed but, alas, only told about. |

Thanks for the above Prof. The good old Economic helped us buy our first home.
A pity they don't still build them like that today. |
