About Coventry - show info hide info

Coventry is a city in West Midland's of England. It is the eigth largest city in England, with a population of 305,000 (2005 estimated). Coventry is believed to have been founded in 1043 with the endowment of a Benedictine Abbey. Current evidence suggests the Abbey has been in existence from 1022. By the 14th century, the town had grown into an important centre for the cloth trade, and throughout the middle ages, Coventry was one of the most important cities in England. Coventry was granted city status in 1345. Hostile attitudes of the inhabitants of Coventry towards Royalist prisoners held in Coventry during the English Civil War is believed to have originated the phrase "sent to Coventry", which in Britain means 'to be ostracised'. In the late 19th century, Coventry became a major centre for bicycle manufacture, which had been pioneered by Rover. In the early 20th century, Rover started to make motor vehicles, and so Coventry became an important town of motor car manufacture. During World War II, Coventry suffered heavy damage from the German Air Force as many munitions were being made in the city. The air raid damaged homes and Coventry's historic Cathedral. In the post war years, the city was largely rebuilt, with a new Cathedral and a pedestrianised shopping precinct. However, by the 1970's, the motor industry in the UK was in rapid decline, and as more factories shut, unemployment in the town increased; at one point in the 1980's, over 20% of the population of Coventry was out of work. In recent years, Coventry has recovered, with a recent redevelopment of the city centre to include a large double archway, commemorating Frank Whittle, inventor of the jet engine, who was from Coventry. The town's transport museum is a popular attraction, and in addition there are several museums and art galleries. Coventry lies on the main Birmingham - London railway line, and thus sees trains between London Euston and Birmingham New Street operated by Virgin Trains, as well as services between Birmingham and Northampton. Services to Nuneaton commence here, and Virgin Cross Country operate services between Edinburgh and Bournemouth through the town. Coventry has its own airport, which sees flights operated by Thomsonfly to a number of European destinations. Birmingham International is a short distance away, with more long haul and charter destinations. Nearby towns to Coventry include Birmingham, Nuneaton, Warwick, Royal Leamington Spa, Solihull, Redditch, Bromsgrove, Dudley, Rugby, Stratford-upon-Avon and Walsall.
