Welcome to the Historic Coventry Forum

25th Jan 2010 -- 19:34

Hi folks! With so many people asking so many questions about Coventry's colourful past, it seemed to me that the best answer would be a forum on the website, so anyone can join in to ask questions, answer other questions, or simply reminisce about things that have occurred down the years. It's the first time I've ever attempted to build a forum, so if you're unsure about anything, or if something doesn't work as it should, either try the Help page, or contact me in the usual way to let me know what's not working, and I'll try to mend it! So, over to you - feel free to start new topics or respond to old ones... and then sit back and wait for someone to respond. All the best, and thank you for the wonderful support you've all given me with Historic Coventry! Rob

Rob. Do you know when Whitefriars will be open for the public to look round? It wasn't open last Heritage day and I would love to see inside. Thanks, Jason.

Hi Jason, I wish I knew myself - it would be great to see more of that ancient building. As far as I know it belongs to The Herbert, and I think they only use it for storage, so it's a bit wasted really. I'm sure that many other folk, like us, would like to see it put to better use.

Thanks Rob. I will ask at the Herbert. Thanks also for your brilliant website and your continued hard work. Jason.

Hello Rob. What a brilliant idea this is! And, as usual, you've made yet another outstanding addition to an already fantastic site. I don't get onto it half as much as I'd like to, but every time I do, it never ceases to amaze me. Any Coventry kid, no matter where he or she lives, can now glean, (extract), so much information from the one comprehensive site. Even if one is not from Coventry, it is just so interesting to read. Oh, how much more interesting "history" could have been when I was a schoolboy at good old "Freddie Bird's", Swan Lane, had this site and the technology been available then. Excellent job, Rob. Best wishes, Brian. (Melbourne, Australia).
