23 Mar Coventry – Our City
Coventry – Our City
From Lady Godiva to Blitz survivor
Our history
Destruction and reconstruction
Reconciliation of nations
Grown wiser
Our industries
Weavers, watchmakers,
Bicycles, Daimlers,
Jet engines and machinery
Courtaulds, Rover, GEC
Reinvention
Turn that ghost town upside down
Our communities
And universities
Connecting creativity
Our identity is diversity
And arrivers from the world over
Are not sent to our Coventry
They come to see our Whittle Arch
Our festivals in the Memorial Park,
Our Transport Museum
And Coombe Abbey
Our Cathedral ruins
And art gallery
The Belgrade Theatre, the Ricoch arena
Coventry’s never been a more
Vibrant place to be
Our beautiful city,
City! City! City!
