Coventry has been one of the most important cities in England since
the Middle Ages. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
Coventry became an industrial centre, renowned for clock and watch
manufacturing and later for building cars, bicycles and aircraft.
Its significance drew massive air attacks during the Second World
War and the historic centre of Coventry was destroyed. The city was
rebuilt in the post-war era, including a new cathedral, and the
city boomed, then was hard hit by industrial decline in the late
twentieth century, but recent decades have seen a gradual recovery,
recognised with Coventry becoming the 2021 UK City of Culture. Lost
Coventry presents a portrait of this corner of the East Midlands
over the last century, showing not only industries and buildings
that have gone but also people and street scenes, many popular
places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating
photographic history of lost Coventry will appeal to all those who
live in the area or know it well, as well as those who remember it
from previous decades.
