Good luck.
Coventry has an archive - it's in the Herbert Art gallery. A lot of Coventry documents were destroyed during the blitz and also in the home of a private collector in Brum in the 19th century.

Here's a picture of the power station:

The Victorian bit is a small brick building out of picture - it's about the size of a garage!

This whole thing has now been converted into apartments/offices for people in the creative industries.
