Coventry: City Wall & Gates
A tour of the old City Wall and Gates of Coventry. Despite the ravages of time two of the original twelve gates and some remnants of the Wall remain. Using old and new images, this video shows all of the gates and parts of the wall that still stand. Starting off at Cook Street Gate and ending at Bishop Gate.
Click the link to Historic Coventry for a tour of the Wall and Gates with more pictures and historical commentary:
In addition to using images from my own collection I once again owe a huge debt of gratitude to Rob Orland for allowing me access to his collection - Cheers!

Lady Herbert's Garden Coventry
Old and new images of this popular spot in the centre of Coventry. The garden and homes are a memorial to Lady Florence Herbert (who died on 25th May 1930) funded by her husband Sir Alfred Herbert. He established the world famous Alfred Herbert Machine Tool Co. in the city in 1887 and as well as the gardens and homes he provided major financial backing for the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum.
The garden contains the most substantial section of the City Wall that has survived the ravages of time. Mason's marks can be seen on some of the stones along with pock-marks caused by exploding bombs during the second world war.
The two remaining City gates (originally there were 12) are at either end of the garden - Swanswell & Cook Street.
As a child I remember my mum taking me here to see the goldfish in the pond. Sadly there are no longer any fish but it is probably just as well as they would only get killed.
The garden has gained quite a bad reputation over the years but on the day I took the now pictures all seemed fine. [ Contrast the Coventry Inspires Peace image with the ones before and after it! ]
The old pictures are postcard scans and images from a booklet entitled Lady Herbert's Garden and Homes Coventry (2nd Edition) which was published some time after WW2 and before 1953. A couple of the postcards belong to Rob Orland so cheers once again to him for giving me permission to use them in this production.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Coventry ( (listen) KOV-ən-tree or KUV-) is a city, administrative centre and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England.
Historically part of Warwickshire, at the 2011 census Coventry had a population of 316,915, making it the 9th largest city in England and the 12th largest in the United Kingdom. It is the second largest city in the West Midlands region, after Birmingham, and although proximite to the West Midlands conurbation, it is just outside it.
Coventry is 19 miles (31 km) east-southeast of Birmingham, 24 miles (39 km) southwest of Leicester, 11 miles (18 km) north of Warwick and 94 miles (151 km) northwest of London. Coventry is also the most central city in England, being only 11 miles (18 km) south-southwest of the country's geographical centre in Leicestershire and is located in the West Midlands.
The current Coventry Cathedral was built after the majority of the 14th century cathedral church of Saint Michael was destroyed by the Luftwaffe in the Coventry Blitz of 14 November 1940. Coventry motor companies have contributed significantly to the British motor industry. The city has three universities, Coventry University in the city centre, the University of Warwick on the southern outskirts and the smaller private Arden University, headquartered close to Coventry Airport.
On 7 December 2017, the city won the title of UK City of Culture 2021, after beating Paisley, Stoke-on-Trent, Swansea and Sunderland to the title. They will be the third title holder, of the quadrennial award which began in 2013.
