A general view looking from the Warwick Road entrance of Coventry station prior to the 1901-4 rebuilding

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'.
