Landmarques Gallery

This gallery features street scenes depicting Coventry from 1869 to 1945.

In this gallery you walk along streets, passing by horse and carts, bicycles and cars, and you encounter all the noise and smells of a thriving city. You can even walk into blacksmith’s forge, pubs, factories and an old time cinema.

You are guided on this evocative journey by our computer generated avatar Star Starley, who flies from area to area in her time machine highlighting the significant vehicles and events in each period.

In the streets you will meet characters who will tell you all about their jobs and what’s going on in their world, giving you a unique insight into the lives and times of Coventry people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
