It's the best view to show the gap between Timpsons and Duval. It's wider than it seems from views along the road.

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.!
