Beschreibung
Despite the devastation it suffered from German bombs and city planners, Coventry still boasts a fascinating history dating back centuries. The city has played a major part in the economic and cultural life of the country: it was a major centre of bicycle manufacture before becoming the home of many of the country's main car makers; it is home to one of the world's best-loved cathedrals and its beautiful Guildhall; it changed the modern world with Europe's first pedestrian precinct; and has the country's first post-war theatre. Local author David McGrory takes the reader on a fascinating A Z tour of the city s history, exploring its nooks and crannies, and telling stories of the buildings, places and residents along the way. Fully illustrated with photographs from the past and present, A Z of Coventrywill appeal to residents and visitors alike.
