…looking towards London Road. The boiler house of Gulson Road hospital is on the left and Whitefriars Abbey in the centre. In the foreground is Victor Mancini’s cafĂ©. He also had a fleet of ice-cream vans and a stall in the market. On the corner in the distance – just beyond the Hope & Anchor – is an old-fashioned tea shop which was very popular with the Irish navvies who built most of post-war Coventry.
