This narrow part of Bayley Lane is home to St. Mary's Hall, first built in 1340's (left). 'The Cottage' (centre) is a fine example of a medieval timber framed house built about 1500. The outside walls of Coventry Cathedral is on the left. All of what you see survived the WWII.
I used to work in St. Mary's Hall. I had the pleasure of stepping into this Lane regularly as did my husband who also worked there.

Absolutely beautiful! I love the old structures you pointed out...not to mention how lucky you are to have worked in such a historic area (with your husband too:).
it's so amazing to me how old these structures are...you walk among so much history...how awesome to have worked there!

Beautiful old alleyway- such history!
Its unbelievable to think that buildings can survive for such a long time, I mean...1500's, you are lucky to be surrounded by so much history... I love Perth, but its just an infant compared to Europe.
Glad you enjoyed seeing what has to be my most favorite street in Coventry. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. Lovely!
