Cathedral construction site JLP01_01_025_57

COVENTRY CATHEDRAL, PRIORY STREET, COVENTRY. A view of the construction site of Coventry Cathedral taken from the spire of the old Coventry Cathedral, looking down on the original graveyard and the remains of the Old Priory Row which traversed the site from east to west.
The photograph shows the construction of the new Coventry Cathedral, designed by Basil Spence in 1951 and constructed between the mid-1950s and 1962. It replaced the ruined Cathedral Church of St Michael which had been badly damaged by bombing in 1941. The caption below the photograph in the album reads "... In the centre of the middle ground can be seen the construction of the walls of the Fan Chamber, which is situated under the Chapel of Unity, and the concrete blinding which is under the floor of the passage leading into the Fan Chamber."
