Ye Olde Guide is a podcast about the history of English towns and cities. In this first episode we’re visiting the midlands city of Coventry.
See the extensive show notes and guide map at yeoldeguide.com
In the first category culture we will discuss Lady Godiva’s naked ride through the city, the birth of two-tone, and Coventry’s essential place in the history of British multiculturalism. For politics and war we’ll be talking The Blitz, the world wars and the turbulent period when Coventry was said to have acted as the capital of England!
In the third category science and industry we’ll hear how Coventry’s rise and fall in car manufacturing gained it the label ‘the Detroit of England’.
Finally for urban heritage we bring you the tale of three cathedrals, not quite-lost medieval heritage and ground-breaking 20th century urban regeneration
Thank you for joining us and we really hope you enjoy this first episode as we send you to Coventry.
