Fishy Moores
Looking at this photo I can see the strange triangular shaped building where my Mum and I used to walk down the back, down the cobbled road to Fishy Moores. We used to have to join the queue outside until the lady on the door called us in when there was a table free. There was a section up on raised platform inside, and I used to think only important people were allowed to eat their fish and chips up there! Happy days.

 Coventry, the Cathedral Ruins c1955 (ref: C169012) |
Year: 1955
Visits to cathedral
We used to stay one week each summer with my mother's aunt and we would be taken to see the sights of Coventry. I remember so well going into the ruined cathedral and feeling a sense of awe and that it was still a place of worship, albeit open-air. I think it was because the original aisles were still in place and where the pews would have been was grass. Later on we came to live in Coventry and I have been a member of the Cathedral community. Memorable occasions in the 'old' cathedral have been Easter Sunday services at dawn after having stayed awake (and busy) since the first part of the service the evening before; sponsored sleep-outs overnight (usually November) to raise funds for the Cyrenians; and the dedication of a peace statue which has its counterpart in Hiroshima. We now have family memories as well, as my grandaughter was married in St. Mary's Hall and wedding photographs were taken in the Cathedral gardens. Last edited: 28/06/2006 15:40 by Josie Skene |
