Coventry Motor Museum

We took Rachel and Tyler to the motor museum - while it's been in Coventry for years, we ourselves had never been. Coventry was badly bombed in the war owing to the fact that the numerous car factories in the city were repurposed to make ammunitions for the war. The museum had a large display depicting the German's blitz on Coventry November 14-16 which effectively levelled the city, killing 808 people all of whom were buried at the Coventry cemetary on the London Road. In the first photo Andy is chatting to a former Massey Ferguson employee, now a museum assistant, who was on hand to answer any queries in the wartime Coventry section of the museum. The top right hand photo was one of the many cars that Andy admired; the bottom left was a depiction of a Coventry street after the war; Andy remembers riding the double decker bus shown in the bottom right hand corner.
