Description

Walks Thro' Coventry 1916 is a unique glimpse into the city's history, presented by Edwin Rainbow, a journalist and Registrar of Births and Deaths in Coventry at the turn of the twentieth century. In this guidebook, he takes us on four city walks, sharing stories about the origins and growth of Coventry, as well as its significant buildings and businesses during 1916. Rainbow's walkways transport us back to a different time, before two world wars, the Blitz, and the rebuilding of modern Coventry. New illustrations by Paula Jeffery, Edwin's great, great granddaughter, add visual depth to this historical account. With 104 pages of detailed information, this book is an excellent resource for those interested in local history. Published in 2018, Walks Thro' Coventry 1916 offers a fascinating insight into the city's past, making it a valuable addition to any local history enthusiast's collection.
