Abstract: |
This report details the findings of an historic area assessment undertaken as part of the Coventry City Centre Heritage Action Zone. The report outlines the heritage significance of the distinctive character of the city centre’s historic townscape, encompassing the legacies of Coventry’s history as a major medieval town, a booming industrial powerhouse, a centre of innovation in postwar redevelopment and as a city of rich cultural heritage. The report provides: a Statement of Significance for the city centre, in both national and international contexts; an historical overview of the centre’s development; a detailed description of components of local townscape character including topography and urban form, forms of historic development, historic open spaces, public artwork, views and landmarks, and the centre’s relationship with its surroundings. |
