Hello,
The obvious is the motor vehicles, but there's community in the first picture.

Great photograph of King Edward Road.
My grandmother, (later in Coventry Street), was born in that road:

One really for Rob - is it me or are there still a few photos that haven't made it from Pictures of Coventry onto Coventry Digital? I've a feeling that there were some stables at the back of Leicester Street/Dogge Lane.

Yes, I believe there's still quite a lot of images from that old collection that haven't appeared on Coventry Digital. The first reason that came to mind was that some of the originals hadn't been scanned in an acceptably high resolution. But then, thinking about it again, I think that all of those on Pictures of Coventry were originally being offered for sale as prints up to 10" x 8" - so they must've been reasonably detailed.
One particular photo I recall that I'd love to see in greater detail was this one, looking across the ground cleared for the new Council House towards Caesar's Tower on the back of the Guildhall....

There are a lot of photos with no negatives from which to get clearer scans but finding them all is a bit of a nightmare. But better scans of those photos would be better than the PoC versions. The scans of David Fry's postcards are smashing. There are also negatives tucked away in mixed boxes eg I came across a packet of Chauntry Place negs a while back that haven't been scanned yet.

Not an uncommon problem for even big organisations but I hope that it's just a bill mistake and not permanent.

Forumers - David Fry has updated some more of his fabulous postcard collection to Coventry Digital. Best way I have found to search the latest ones are to search just on 'Coventry' then use the filter to select by Sort Order = Newest

Yummy! I thought that some new ones were popping up. Lots of Stoke and Wyken. A search for Fry or Albert might also bring them all up.
The one below is a great one of Far Gosford street. The wall on the right boundaries the All Saints church but the entryway running beneath the sign 'Garlick's', predates the church.

It's the devil in the detail I love in these scenes I really love to look for. Like what is in the background behind the main row. TBH its not too a dissimilar view today ('ish?!)

Fascinating that one Neil, but the garbage bins give it away. I wonder what the event was.
I dig the dude in the white shoes. !

Hi Jo, if you hover your mouse over the Coventry Digital pictures they sometimes show text at the bottom. This one says that the crowd were waiting for the Godiva Procession.
