Was ambling around mermorial park today..and had cam with me, on way through town to get bus home i realised i hadn't shown you any pics of our cathedrals, we have two!! (or three-i forget loL!) so here are some pics of the 'new" (although it isnt anymore!) cathedral taken by moi!

And nope, none are edited-merely made by playing with fixtures on camera!

Impressive shots, Luke! You say "new"; was this built or restored after the war? I have a vague memory in the back of my mind about Coventry and bombing ... whatever, it's beautiful. I aways enjoy your photography

Thanks! and yes your right, this is the re-built post war one....the wheol city was pretty badly hit in WW2...the bombed ruins of the old cathedral still stand and its still very much an attraction to/in the city..

I always loved visting Coventry for that reason . . . I used to sneak a quick 1/2 hour away from business to go and gaze at the cathedral - it's stunning, both the ruin and the post-war rebuild.

My other fave place in your city was Medieval Spon Street (where the hi-fi dealer that I used to visit was/is located). A most rare collection of VERY old buildings and so lucky to survive the extreme bombing that Coventry endured.
