EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a slice of history in Coventry city centre during the 1970s. On one side of Broadgate, prefab shops stand tall, their origins dating back to 1947 when they were erected as temporary structures due to Whitehall's reluctance to approve anything better. Little did anyone know that these humble shops would still be standing strong after 25 years. However, not everyone is enamored by their presence. Locals have voiced their concerns to the Council, deeming them an eyesore and claiming they hinder the flourishing tourist trade in the area. Despite this controversy, there is no denying that these prefabs hold a certain charm and tell a story of resilience and adaptability. The bustling scene captured in this image showcases life in Coventry at its busiest. People can be seen going about their daily routines - shoppers browsing through stores, buses stopping at designated bus stops, and even a Daimler bus from Derby making its way through the streets. Notable establishments such as J Lyons & Co. , Bendalls, Boyd's of Bond Street, and Gay Gannet Self Service Restaurant add character to this vibrant snapshot of urban life. This photograph serves as a reminder of how architecture shapes our surroundings and how even seemingly temporary structures can become integral parts of our collective memory.
