Opening hours of local businesses in Coventry

Hometown of Rover Company, ancestor of the Land Rover car brand, Coventry grew important during the Middle Ages because of the cloth and textile trade. During the 19th and 20th centuries, it became a major bicycle manufacturing centre that led to the motor industry later. You may have heard of Coventry as the place where Lady Godiva’s infamous horse ride took place. Or so the legend says.

The Blitz in November 1940 left large parts of the city destroyed by bombing and many historic buildings couldn’t be saved, so extensive rebuilding was needed. Like a phoenix arising from ashes, the city was rebuilt during the ‘50s and the ‘60s, with the help of the Gibson Plan which included one of the first pedestrian precincts in Europe. St. Michael's Cathedral is the best-known landmark in Coventry, built after the Blitz next to the ruins of the old cathedral. Another interesting place to see is the Coventry Transport Museum, a free-to-enter museum with the largest collection of British vehicles in the world, with over 250 cars and commercial vehicles, 300 cycles and 120 motorcycles. That sounds fun!
