EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beginning of a transformative era in Smithford Street, Coventry. Taken on the 26th of January, 1950, it showcases the street at the start of its redevelopment journey. The image reveals an intriguing blend of old and new as temporary structures line the top left corner, including a Woolworth & Co. Ltd. store. In the foreground, we see Broadgate House foundations taking shape, symbolizing progress and change for this bustling area. The scene is filled with anticipation as construction workers diligently work towards creating a vibrant and modern cityscape. The photograph transports us back to the 1950s when reconstruction was underway after World War II had ravaged many parts of Coventry. It serves as a reminder of resilience and determination during challenging times. Woolworths stands out prominently in this image - an iconic shopping destination that played a significant role in people's lives during that era. Its presence adds nostalgia to this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how far Smithford Street has come since its early days of redevelopment. This print encapsulates not only physical changes but also represents hope for a brighter future for Coventry and its residents.
