Prof Gloucester	107 of 115 Fri 31st Mar 2023 7:53am How much of Gosford Green was lost to Sky Blue Way? Was it mostly the Hermitage site on old maps?

NeilsYard Coventry	108 of 115 Fri 31st Mar 2023 10:04am Happy to be corrected Prof but I don't think any of the Green went for Sky Blue Way to go in. That went right over where All Saints Lane was and the Church itself.

Rob Orland Historic Coventry	109 of 115 Fri 31st Mar 2023 10:19am Actually, Prof is quite correct about this - a helluvalot of the original green lies under what is now Sky Blue Way. This Scottish maps overlay shows that Gosford Green once extended over what is now a car park at the east end of Far Gosford Street, opposite the old Lloyd's Bank.

Helen F Warrington	110 of 115 Fri 31st Mar 2023 10:52am Given that it turns the west end of the park into a traffic island and slices a layer off the south, it does lop off a significant chunk.

Flippin' 'eck I'd forgotten it was like that Rob. I only think of Sky Blue Way as the bit up from Lower Ford Street etc. Well reminded!
