Despite the devastation it suffered from German bombs and city
planners, Coventry still boasts a fascinating history dating back
centuries. The city has played a major part in the economic and
cultural life of the country: it was a major centre of bicycle
manufacture before becoming the home of many of the country's main
car makers; it is home to one of the world's best-loved cathedrals
and its beautiful Guildhall; it changed the modern world with
Europe's first pedestrian precinct; and has the country's first
post-war theatre. Local author David McGrory takes the reader on a
fascinating A-Z tour of the city's history, exploring its nooks and
crannies, and telling stories of the buildings, places and
residents along the way. Fully illustrated with photographs from
the past and present, A-Z of Coventrywill appeal to residents and
visitors alike.
