The Coventry Telegraph have announced the latest proposals for our Guildhall.
The only good thing I can see is for the medieval kitchen to be restored, but the originally planned rooftop bar (which was bad enough) is now to be dropped in favour of a bar in the Armoury (the large room upstairs behind the Minstrel's Gallery). Access to this will be via a spiral staircase in the Great Hall!!! As if that wouldn't be incongruous enough, it's hardly wheelchair friendly either - something I thought was particularly important nowadays?
But of course, our Coventry Society's objections are being ignored, as usual. Some democracy we live in! |

I can't help thinking that they're pricing the Coventry buildings out of the market. They may be able to justify it for a while due to novelty value but Coventry isn't a natural tourist destination. |

I feel so sad that it is so expensive to visit this beautiful place. I will just keep my memories of having afternoon tea there on occasions and watching the little mouse run back and forth. I doubt that many tourists will be prepared to pay the price, Very sad. Hope you are all surviving the heat. Keep calm and carry on. I heard that people were putting their socks in the fridge ![]() ![]() |

I know that you've just had a coffee morning but who fancies a Sunday breakfast on the 23rd Oct? I shall be staying the night before so I can delay my departure for a bit. I know it's an odd day for you folks so no worries if you can't make it.

I think I can make that, Helen
It's quite pricey for us 'youngsters' but some of the other forumites would get a discount. ![]() ![]() |

I have a GoCV card as a citizen, so get a discount. I think that makes it £3.50. You should be an honorary member, Helen! |

Been going in there for over 65 years, can’t see any justification for paying to get in now 🧐 |

I want to see the restorations. The kitchen looks good. I'm going to make myself a collection of the best early images to compare the rooms with. |
