Bonds Hospital Coventry

Coventry is a town with a long history but if you visit the city you are struck by how modern the city centre looks. This was entirely due to massive air raids on the city in 1940. In one night in November 1940 more than 4,300 homes in Coventry were destroyed and around two-thirds of the city's buildings were damaged. Most of the city centre was destroyed. As well as two hospitals, two churches including the cathedral . Given the devastation it is surprising that a few of the original historic buildings survived . The image shows the fifteenth century Bonds Hospital. This rather fine building bow offers sheltered housing for older people . The image makes this building look quite rural but it sits very close to the city centre
