This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Coventry in the 1960s. Standing tall amidst a row of charming shops and buildings, we are drawn to Pearson Second Hand shop at number 23 Stoney Stanton Road. Its weathered facade tells tales of countless stories and cherished memories. However, our attention is immediately captured by the striking message scrawled across the adjacent building - "Number 21 must be demolished". This simple yet powerful statement hints at an impending change that would forever alter this bustling neighborhood. The photograph transports us to October 25th, 1968, freezing a moment in time when progress clashed with nostalgia. The three-storey house next door stands as a symbol of resistance against modernity's relentless march forward. Its fate hangs precariously in the balance as discussions about urban development echo through these historic streets. As we delve into this image further, we appreciate not only its historical significance but also its architectural beauty. The intricate details on each storefront reflect the craftsmanship of yesteryears while showcasing Coventry's unique charm. Intriguingly, clothing displays catch our eye through shop windows, hinting at fashion trends long forgotten but still treasured within these walls. It is a snapshot frozen in time that invites us to imagine what life was like during those days - bustling with activity and brimming with dreams. Wes Howard's lens has masterfully captured this moment from Memory Lane Prints, allowing us to step back into
