Slight misinformation about Spon Street in the Telegraph...

Part of Spon Street showing a number of its old half-timbered buildings. Two properties, one on the left, the other by the lamp-post, have been restored in the last few years. Coventry, West Midlands. 11th December 1978.

Neither building is original. The one on the left was moved from Much park Street and sits on the site of the Plough Inn which was destroyed in the Easter 1941 Blitz. The other by the lamp-post was moved from the other side of the Ring Road where it looked considerably different from how it does today.

Do you really expect the Telegraph to know anything about Coventry's history?

They think the 1955 fire at Jaguar's factory in Brown's Lane was during the Blitz

Shameful!

Trouble is, many will read that "story" and take it as gospel

The most effected way to distroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
George Orwell.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. George Owell
