Description
Coventry in 50 Buildings explores the city's rich architectural heritage through its most significant buildings. From the modern cathedral that replaced the original fourteenth-century structure, to the impressive new extension to the Herbert Gallery, this unique study celebrates Coventry's distinctive history. The city's medieval Spon Street is home to many timbered houses, including more Wealden Houses than any other street in England. The book also examines the country's first post-war theatre and Europe's first pedestrian precinct. Local author David McGrory guides readers on a tour of Coventry's historic buildings and modern architectural marvels. This accessible guide provides a new perspective on Coventry's proud and distinctive history, making it an ideal choice for anyone interested in architecture, local history, or the city's development over time.
