Coventry Walkabout 18 April 2024

A walkabout starting at Little Park Street which takes in New Union Street, Greyfriars Lane, a bit of High Street, Broadgate, some of the Upper Precinct, Barracks Car Park, some of Market Way, Shelton Square and last but not least City Arcade. (Barracks Car Park, that part of Market Way, Shelton Square and the City Arcade are all due to be demolished to make way for the City Centre South redevelopment.) I think archaeology surveys were being carried out at the car park and Shelton Square.

Can't believe. I grew up in Cov and we used to go to The Squirrel on a Friday night. Never seen that beautiful medieval courtyard before though.

Every change they make to Coventry leaves it worse than it was before. I can't think of anything they have done that has really improved it. I was born in Coventry and lived there for 30 years. I emigrated to the USA in 1979. I've been back a few times since but not for at least 15 years.

Unlucky being born in Coventry, but good you managed to escape. I lived in Coventry briefly and will never go back there, it's one of the worst places I ever lived in. I wish I was able to emigrate out of this forsaken country. Coventry is the epitome of it.

Any one remember the red wedge cafe.?

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

No, where was it and when was it?

[@kristinajendesen7111]

Nope, my mum used to work in the Wimpy round café though. Uses to hang out in Woolies café with mates.
