St. Joseph's Convent

We have a wonderful selection of photographs here from Maureen Donald, whose mother-in-law, Emily Taylor, attended a convent in Coventry as a day student. The connection between them is St. Joseph's Convent, and they date from 1922 to 1925.

St. Joseph's Convent

Here are the girls at St. Joseph's convent in 1922.


St. Joseph's 'As you like it'

And here, again in 1922, the girls performing the Shakespeare comedy "As you like it".


96 Godiva Street

Click the buitton to see a detailed close-up of this shop, number 96 Godiva Street, and try to spot how many of those old advertised brands are still around today!
Maureen thinks that this was the tobacco/candy store run by her grandparents, George and Agnes Taylor, and at Christmas they used to send a big box of treats from their store to the grandchildren in Canada, where Maureen now lives. Does anyone have recollections of this shop?


Priest
This priest also probably has connections with St. Joseph's Convent.

The BTH (Coventry) Social & Athletic Club Hockey Team, 1924-25

The connection with St. Joseph's is currently unknown, but as with all of these images, it's of great interest and part of Coventry's fine past.


These two fine portraits are probably connected to the Alfred Green family:
