Oh my! I had no idea! Can I assume that I'm mentioned in the context of local website listings?

Type 'Coventry history' in Google and you're right up there Rob and masses more stuff to read and look at than the competition. However I've also spotted your name as a history resource in a number of worthy places, like archaeology reports and non-Coventry related history websites. I've written before that almost every picture I followed back to source, when I started, was at this site. It took me a while to realise that it wasn't an official site. Nabbing 'Historic Coventry' as a web name must have stymied a few late comers. Too often sites are stingy with pictures and text but not here. Fred Luckett, John Ashby's pub records are invaluable and were part of my top 5 sites to visit, even before you joined forces. Your map section is even more important now that Old Maps has gone. That engineering plan of the new roads is one I've used regularly. The site draws people in but the forum makes them regularly come back. I can't say how many times I've been helped either directly or indirectly by other members.

Very happy bunny this morning. I have just been given two lovely books. Coventry Past and Passing by A E Feltham, subscription copy number 309 which was presented to Mr H T Suddens by the boys of Broad Street School, Christmas 1930 on his move to Spon Street School, and an official souvenir copy of Godiva Procession August 7th 1907. Can’t wait to get stuck into them, lots of pictures.

Coventry Past and Passing is one of my favourite books

Enjoy, Anne
