EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Coventry Cathedral, as it stood proudly before the fateful events of November 14, 1940. Taken from Pepper Lane, the image showcases the impressive tower and architectural details of the Cathedral church dedicated to St Michael. Established in 1918, Coventry Cathedral was once among the largest churches in the country. Its historic significance and beautiful design drew many visitors and admirers. However, this tranquil scene was soon shattered when the Cathedral became a victim of the devastating Blitz during World War II. The photograph, captured by Alfred Newton and Son between 1929 and 1940, serves as a poignant reminder of the Cathedral's former glory before its tragic destruction by bombing. The photograph's composition effectively frames the Cathedral against the backdrop of a quiet, tree-lined street, with a car parked near the bottom left corner adding a sense of scale and context to the image. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and history of Coventry Cathedral, which has since been rebuilt as a symbol of hope and resilience.
