But behind the modernity, Coventry&#8217;s storied past lives on in its architecture and artworks, its visionary centre and outlying council estates.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>This book reveals some of its hard-to-find origins as a city with a major medieval influence, and the relics of its industrial boom as a centre for making cloth and clocks, cars and bikes. But it was manufacturing munitions that made it a target for the German Luftwaffe in WWII, flattening its medieval heart, and prompting the distinctive look and feel of its centre and surrounds today.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>It details everything from a quirky homage to 11th-century Lady Godiva, to the remnants of the walled city of the English Civil War that spawned the phrase &lsquo;sent to Coventry&rsquo;.
