Coventry Station: lnwrcov2779
A general view looking from the Warwick Road entrance of
Coventry station prior to the 1901-4 rebuilding. The most obvious aspect of the
photograph is the total absence of motor vehicles with only horse-drawn
carriages and cabs being evident. It would appear that the road surface has not
been paved or had tarmac laid and is probably compacted stone which has been
covered with soil over the years. The use of timber huts outside the station
would continue for the next sixty plus years as can be seen in image 'lnwrcov619'.
