Singer Company

Here is a photo that someone uploaded onto "Memories of Coventry" before Singer Hall student accommodation was built on Canterbury Street factory

It took me a long time to place that photo. It's a view from north-east of the city centre looking due north towards Whitley Common. Coventry baths are extreme right of picture with the former technical college behind it and also dead centre on the opposite side of Cox Street and Sky Blue Way

Yes you're right Dutchman. I think it's been taken from the top floor of Thomas King House (high rise flats in Hillfields) and I have some taken from the smaller block, Hillfields House, you can just see the tops of the new student flats but they have kept the small part in the middle (white building)

Taken from the smaller block Hillfields House

Here is the former Singer office block in 2010

May be worth knowing, George Singer we believe was born in Dorchester, Dorset.

Hi. I'm looking for a photo of Canterbury Street, of St Peter's Church and the cottages next to it, just before the Second World War. If anyone has one that I could copy, I would be very grateful. Please contact me. Thank you

That old Singer Works on Canterbury Street can be seen here.
