@covdig What a nice story…. although now reading about the Umbrella Club when I should be doing the day job :)

Delighted to make available a series by #richardsadler from the 1955 opening of the Umbrella Club, showing the interior of Coventry’s post-war arts club. coventry-digital.smartframe.io/p/102352/7eec3…

Joseph Wingrave c1880 plate of Butcher Row towards Bull Ring - the photographer stood with his back to (today) Wilko's to take this. The road was demolished in the 1930s for Trinity Street. If you zoom in to the middle, you'll see Hegan's Museum. coventry-digital.smartframe.io/p/102334/7eb49…

A lovely piece on the ever evolving story on the rescued glass plate negatives of Arthur Cooper, saved by Ian Holland. It's a collaborative project with @kyneswood and his team at @covdig who are asking locals to help curate the images. #Archives bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
