Description:
A historic street that was once part of an important trade route from London to Shrewsbury and Holyhead. In the 18th century it was one of the world’s major centres of watchmaking. Since the end of the Second World War the street has halved in length due to the construction of the city’s ring-road. Some historic buildings that survived the Coventry Blitz were relocated here in the 1960s. Today the street is home to 26 shops and forms a large concentration of the city’s medieval structures.
