Lost tramways of England: Coventry

By Peter Waller Published by Graffeg Ltd. 2018

The city of Coventry was to suffer devastating damage during World War II, with much of its historic centre - including its medieval cathedral ? largely destroyed. Amongst the casualties was the city's small tramway network; never extensive and already under threat before the war started, hostilities had resulted in the tramway initially been given a stay of execution - indeed services were restored to one route - but the attacks by the Luftwaffe, culminating in the disastrous raid of 14 November 1940, saw the final trams operate. Now, however, little remains to remind people of this once important form of transport other than historic photographs.
