Steven Orland's Old Coventry Photo Gallery
Page 2
We start page 2 with two spires again and some trees in blossom making Holy Trinity Church look very attractive in both photos.
From the same place as above, you can face the other way and take a photograph of the former Blue Coat School.
The view here is the space underneath the old tower of St. Mary's Priory. Blue Coat was built on top of the remains of this tower.
These next two photos are of the remaining part of Whitefriars Monastery.
In the photo on the left, the rubble on the ground used to be a massive church used by the monks which was next to the building still standing.
The part that's left now was only part of the cloister of the monastery. A cloister was an enclosed square where they would get peace and quiet and do some studying.
The picture below shows the gateway that leads to the monastery. Whitefriars Gate is now used as a Toy Museum.
Christchurch Spire again on a sunny day.
Quite near to Christchurch is Cheylesmore Manor House. This part remaining was only the gateway to the manor and is it now used as the Coventry Register Office. My Mum and Dad got married there.
The old cathedral twice more.... with the sun behind it making a silhouette.
St. John's church in Fleet Street also looks good with nice sunlight on it.
At the corner of Bihop Street and Hales Street is another of Coventry's oldest buildings. Everyone knows it as the Old Grammar School, but it used to be the Hospital of St. John.
All photographs by Steven Orland except where stated.
