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 :).

Greyfriars Green In July



 It was beautiful out this morning, particularly here in 
Greyfriars Green located between Coventry Train Station and the City Centre.


The topiary figures, I would imagine, are to do with the WW1 Centenary.

In the background of both of these shots are heaps of boulders.  That was 
Junction 6 of the Ring Road that goes around Coventry City Centre. 
Nearly 40 trees were cut down in the name of progress (Friargate Development)
 but it is promised that double that will be replanted.  Hope so!

Three Spires

These spires have dominated Coventry's skyline for hundreds of years.
I can say from experience, it isn't easy to photograph all 3 together
these days.


All three survived World War II air raids.
From left to right is Holy Trinity Church,
Christ Church (the church did not survive)
 and Coventry Cathedral (the church now in ruins).
