Rarely have we visited anywhere which looks more like it sprang from the pages of a classic Ladybird childrens book. It's almost like a caricature of the 1960's.
Of course there's a reason why everything is a bit 60's concrete brutalism, but we wont get into the politics.
We'd got a morning for a stroll around the city following the Stoneleigh garden railway show. The weather was mice, and the city quiet on a Sunday morning,
If anything, the place was a little too quiet; nobody seemed to be in a hurry to get up and open the shops.
Again, Ladybird... looks like this ought to have a caption like "let's go to the shops with Mummy and Bill the Dog".
A bit more 70's, with the orange and grey.
Love this building; it looks almost like a film-set fake backdrop.
There's lots of nice details hidden about the place in amongst all the brutalism and concrete.
It's been a while since we'd been to Coventry, and it was nice to just go and have a stroll, followed by a sit and a drink in a cafe. Would be nice to pop back and do it again, maybe after the show next year.
