Also many of the buildings in the picture were badly bombed and had been cleared by 1946. ![]() |

It is a Nelson's Cement vehicle from the Stratford area, the company ceasing to trade in the 1940's. Therefore this also supports the date of the picture probably being in the mid 1930's. |

Officially opened on 14 May 2021, filmed on 15 May 2021 with some scenes from the nearby 'Edible Garden' included. All in all a nice initiative from Coventry University in my opinion. |
