I wonder if the cretins whose decision it was to desicrate our city, were pleased with what they did. WHY

I know - I'm a grumpy old whatsit..........

The shop blinds that I remember so well, were always a place to shelter when you dodged a rain shower.

Thanks for the photo's Jerry. Isn't it great to have the Album section back again. Thanks to Rod - and Keith?
 
Its a week of 1st Rod you did by yourself

Well done to us all now lets see those pictures flow :D :D
 
Jerry. Just come across those two photos from 1910 and 2000 of Coventry Road. Absolutely fantastic. This is the stuff that really makes this site a must. Thanks for putting them up.
