One of the more interesting places I visited was the City of Coventry, Warwickshire, here in the Midlands.
The original cathedral was bombed in 1940 and it's remains stand at the side of the new one consecrated in 1962.
It is in many ways a by-word for peace and reconciliation from the ground breaking work started between the city and Dresden in Germany, famed for it's ceramics and optics that also was badly damaged.
Much of Coventry's medieval city centre was damaged in those air raids in 1940 but a few streets survived the onslaught and this is one.
