A-Z of Coventry - Places-People-HistoryPaperback
Despite the devastation it suffered from German bombs and city planners, Coventry can boast a fascinating history dating back centuries. 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. 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 the country's best Guildhall; it changed the modern world with Europe's first pedestrian precinct and has the country's first post-war theatre.
Fully illustrated with photographs from the past and present, A-Z of Coventry will appeal to residents and visitors
