Timedrop - Driving around Coventry in the 1980s (Part 3)

In this final part of the journey around the outskirts of Coventry, this section of the trip skirts the edge of town beginning on Coventry Ring Road (North) and onwards towards the Gosford Green via Far Gosford Street.
A new featured journey along similar lines filmed a year earlier in 1986, will come soon.
Thanks for watching!

I went to St Mary’s too, ‘84 to ‘92. Think it was knocked down around 2002, thereabouts.

Great stuff John - I have linked this to the Historic Coventry Forum for our members to see if OK. Great to see pre Sky Blue Way with the end of Ford Street still intact plus the Gosford St/Paynes Lane junction as it was with the White Lion

[@foretrak]

Thanks for watching. Have you seen the other parts to the video on my channel?

[@yardelli]

Yes John cheers - all great - just as I remember it. Did you film them? @@foretrak

Apart from the cars and buses, it doesn’t look much different from now, although theres a lot more boarded up houses
