Other places in this section... |
ow many of us have an old photograph that contains a mystery person - maybe an ancestor, an old friend, work colleagues or neighbours? Or perhaps you know the people, but can't identify the place? Some of us inherit photos that we know nothing about, and wish to learn where they were taken.... or when. This section of Historic Coventry is where some of those photos can be displayed, both for our viewing pleasure, and in the hope that we might learn more about them from visitors who may recognise some element of your Coventry related pictures....
If you recognise any people or places in the photographs in this section, please contact me so we can solve some of these mysteries. Equally, if you have any such photos of your own, please feel free to contact me, so we can arrange for you to send me a scan - and let's see if someone else can solve your mystery!
Where are the Godiva Harriers?
Colin Kirkham has let me use this lovely group photo of the Godiva Harriers for this particular "mystery". And the puzzle we'd like to solve is - where was it taken?
Two strong possibilities have been sugested; either the Cow Lane Chapel, or the Great Meeting House in Smithford Street. Of course, not only the building, but indeed both of those streets are no longer part of Coventry's history.
To help us on our way, Derick Parsons has found this information in the 1922 Spennell's Coventry Business Directory -
Godiva Harriers
Secretary; Jas. Winter.
Headquarters; 116 George Street (off Eagle Street).
Owner; Susannah Jane Winter.
Derick has also contributed his memories of life in a band in the Your Memories section.
