Time Capsule

Friargate

Under the plaque is a sealed canister. The canister contains a collection of

2016 Coventry memorabilia. The plan is to open the 'time capsule' in 2066.

The building under construction (below) will house Coventry City Council offices.

Friargate is a £100 million regeneration project 

between the Coventry Railway Station and the City Centre. 

We are told there will be new office buildings, hotels, residential and leisure space.

And, I see, there is a 'time capsule' too :).

PS:  The plaque is in the middle of the walkway.  

That couple have just walked by it.

Happy Birthday, Nadine xx

More Demoltion

Coventry Cathedral Spire 

The photograph (above) is a view looking through the demolition site

of a 1960's office block across the street from Coventry Train Station.

In the photograph below (one of my favorite buildings)

Station Tower is soon to be demolished.  

I believe major improvements are proposed

for Coventry Train Station (to the right of Station Tower).

Below is another view of how work is progressing.

Above is some of the completed walkway from the train station 

to town and some new occasional seating.  

 All of the buildings pictured will be completely demolished,

soon.

Have a super weekend...see you next week :).

PS  Happy Birthday, Jean!!!!

Occasional Seating

Between City Centre and Coventry Railway Station

I was amused by these chairs.  They are

a tad random.  I thought someone just left them there.

It is the design.  Cemented in the brickwork (I checked).

A place to rest (I guess) on the walk between the

train station and town.  Overall the area looks pretty nice and

welcoming to visitors to Coventry.

Behind me - a total mess (for now).  I'll explain and show you more

in the week :).
