Would someone explain to an ex-pat living in Coventry what and where Lindsay House is or was please?
Ian, if you remember the beautiful Victoria Building with Knowle Street and the Sun Inn behind it along from the Parish Church Royal Oak and the position of the Farmers market Stall Wednesday and Saturday then ending as you came to Bishop Street that is it.
They Knocked down the Victoria building with its row of shops and built Lindsay House a typical 60’s cheap and nasty that needed removing, I mourned the loss of the Victoria Buildings but Lindsay House will not get any tears from me.
The Town is evolving yet again one of its many make overs and though we older generation regret the loss of the once vibrant shopping area and market it is going the way of all Town centres, a victim of out of town and on line shopping. I suppose there will be some one who will regret the removal but not I.
Happy to oblige, Ian: – Lindsay House is a fairly modern building situated along the High street between Bishop street and Knowles street which goes along one side and sweeps around the back of the block of shops. The Sun Inn which you will probably know, is in Knowles street at the rear of Lindsay House.
