One_cannot_see_Coventry_from_here_but

Random Old Analogue Photo Of The Day: In the case of the (as things stand) entry of two days ago in this series I had cause to refer to the building housing the former Coventry branch of the British Heart Foundation charity shop on Hertford Street that I had previously featured. There has also been featured, referring to Coventry, the strange tower at the Lewis's department store in nearby Leicester. Unlike in that structure's case one very much cannot see Coventry from here, but the spirit of that Art Deco rarity in Coventry is certainly being re-visited here with its curves in the middle of the building. This was, at one time, the British Home Stores, on Whitefriargate, Hull and was built in 1934 to a design by A. L. Farman. At the time of this visit to the city, like that building on Hertford Street, this was partly also a charity shop, in this case, for the Young Men's Christian Association and it still is, only for the Dovehouse Hospice.
