A compilation of images of Broadgate, Coventry, starting with some old engravings and ending with an image from 1946. The video also remembers the I.R.A. bomb attack on 25/8/1939 which killed 5 people and injured many more. Just over a year later, the "heart of Coventry" was effectively destroyed during the blitz of 14/15 November 1940.
Once again, thanks to Rob for allowing me to pool resources on this one. Visit his "Historic Coventry" website for more information on Broadgate:
