EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling streets of Coventry in the 1930s. The view northwards from Broadgate down Cross Cheaping and The Burges is a snapshot frozen in time, showcasing the city's vibrant atmosphere and evolving landscape. Tramlines dominate the center of the image, serving as a reminder of an era when trams were a popular mode of transport. They weave through the busy streets, carrying passengers to their destinations amidst a sea of motor vehicles and bicycles. Intriguingly, on the right side of the photograph, we witness history being made as construction begins on what would become known as Owen Owen department store. This iconic building would later become synonymous with shopping in Coventry for generations to come. As our gaze extends towards Bishop Street in the distance, we are met with an array of charming buildings that add character to this lively scene. Each structure tells its own story - some housing shops offering goods and services essential to daily life during that time. This remarkable print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with glimpses into Coventry's past - its transportation systems, commercial development, architectural heritage, and everyday life. It serves as a nostalgic window into an era long gone yet forever preserved through images like these.
