EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of history within the grounds of the Royal Court Hotel in Coventry. The image showcases part of the old hospital buildings, which were once an integral part of Keresley Hospital. Abandoned for over a decade, these derelict outbuildings stood as silent witnesses to the passage of time. However, with the increasing success and popularity of the hotel, owner Fred Kilpatrick has made an ambitious decision. He plans to demolish the operating theatre that stands amidst these crumbling structures and replace it with a remarkable £800,000 extension. This bold move signifies not only progress but also pays homage to Coventry's rich medical heritage. The photograph was taken on June 1st, 1981 - a snapshot from the vibrant era of the 1980s. It serves as a reminder that even in times when neglect seems inevitable, there is always potential for rejuvenation and transformation. As we gaze upon this poignant scene frozen in time, we are reminded of both past struggles and future possibilities. The juxtaposition between decayed remnants and aspirations for growth creates an intriguing narrative within this single frame. Through this print by Memory Lane Prints' staff photographer, we are transported back to an era where health institutions played vital roles in society while simultaneously witnessing their evolution into modern hospitality establishments like hotels.
