The short and tall of the Hillfields landscape. Gone are the row-upon-row of terraced
The short and tall of the Hillfields landscape. Gone are the row-upon-row of terraced houses that once formed the heart of the area and in their place have sprung up great towering blocks of flats. Now the shops of Victoria Road look out of place with the monsters on their doorsteps.

The Short and Tall of the Hillfields Landscape: A Glimpse into Coventry's Changing Architecture". This print captures the dramatic transformation that has taken place in Hillfields, Coventry. Once a neighborhood characterized by charming rows of terraced houses, this snapshot from August 23rd, 1974 reveals a new era defined by towering blocks of flats. Gone are the familiar sights of tightly packed homes that once formed the heart of this area. In their place now stand imposing structures reaching towards the sky, casting long shadows over what was once a humble community. These modern monoliths have reshaped the landscape and forever altered its character. As we peer through time at Victoria Road's shops in this image, it becomes apparent how out-of-place they seem amidst these architectural giants. The contrast between old and new is stark; traditional storefronts juxtaposed against these colossal towers create an intriguing visual dichotomy. Wes Howard skillfully captured not just a moment frozen in time but also a testament to urban redevelopment and social housing initiatives prevalent during the 1970s. This photograph serves as both documentation and reflection on how cities evolve over time to meet changing needs. In contemplating this image, one can't help but ponder on the impact such monumental changes have had on communities like Hillfields – their history preserved within Wes Howard's lens.
