Coventry Digital

The first thing I thought would help, was an overlay of the old street lines over the real streets, rather than trying to match the images. The better way to view the photos was as fixed before and after, like Rob's got and the photo tour with little arrows at the right places. The other thing is more niche - being able to link the JB Shelton photos with his articles. I think that creating narratives to link images together, more like a virtual museum might also help.

Liking this collection of Images by Chris Capwell on CD. They could do with being individually photographed Ben if possible as there is some great content. Mainly Cash's/Hillfields/Vernon's Triangle - some of them are the old Mills near Leamington.

Apols Ben I've just realised you posted about these on the Hillfields thread but worth a second shout!

Is anyone else having issues embedding CD pics? I'm not getting the embed detail on the website when I press the Embed link?

It's working ok for me Neil. Have you tried other images?

Working now - Thanks Helen - must've been my duff laptop.

Some terrific additions which I have been linking to from Ben here from the Frank Tomlinson Collection. Not too much aged stuff Helen but some good pics including Hillfields, Starley Road and redevelopment work.

Just as well really, I'm still up to my neck in the stuff I collected the last time I visited. I know that I've got buried treasure, I just wish it wasn't quite so deep.

Dear all Are we still up for a Saturday morning at Coventry Archives - this Saturday, 17th was in my diary.

Hi Ben - I can make it but will only be able to get there around 1230 due to one of my lads playing Rugby.

You might need to put your clock forward 24 hours.... it's the 18th on Saturday! I'll be there from about half-10 though.

18th it is. I'll be there from 1030. I'll email Damien to arrange things for us to look at Neil, I'll be there until 1300ish. Ben
