Favourite Building

• The Banana Block on Jardine Crescent...used to be called Humphrey Wanley Crescent...oh, an i was born at 171 jardine cres..
• The old cathedral has to be my favorite, unspoilt by progress! Followed closely by Coombe Abbey then the airport, which is another escape route from Coventry.
• council house st mary's guild hall, cov baths, cathederal
• there have been some lovely lookin places which the council felt had to go, but the old grammar school in hales street is nice and reminds you of times gone by.council wont do anything with it and all its used for is drunks to piss up at night!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Colusium Market Browns Bar (fab interior) Cathedrals Precinct area buildings - the whole city has a uniquely unified look to it that locals might have become used to but which is immediately apparent to outsiders (like myself).
• That big blue one, no idea what it is but it looks cool.
• kong cv1

• colosseum
• The hippodrome, even though its going to get knocked down soon :(
• That mad one owned by Cov uni with the stalky bits (near far gosford street). I think it's an engineering building.
• William Morris block, Coventry university

• The building across from Radford Professional Dry Cleaners
• The Council House with its beautiful figured facade, also the ruins of the Old Cathedral.
• Carbodies factory - been there since 1919 and still going strong - Automotive History! Bablake School - fantastic building, very gothic and scary at night - great place to send kids! Road Transport Museum
• The old cathedral

• new building - the bus station, a vast improvement old building - Bayley lane buildings
• The new cathedral
• The Friars house building is nice and shiny and West Orchads dome looks so cool.
• The Alliance and Leicester building is quite nice to look at. Wightmans is an old timber framed building, and a couple of the banks are quite impressive examples of mid to late Victorian architecture
• The Old Cathedral- a very poignant reminder of the war (it was never rebuilt after the bombing) Anarchy Bridge over the railway lines near the station. Recently most of the bridge was replaced with a snazzy new suspension bridge, but the old crappy part belonging to RailTrack is still there, complete with enigmatic grafitti. "I Have Seen the Fnords"
• most of Spon Street
• Cathedral, it rules!
