Coventry - Redevelopment

[Leofric]

Hay all,

Have we forgotten to mention Paradise...an area of Coventry i was told in my first week was completely inappropriately named...but never made it there so no idea....do tell.....

hugs, Skydancer xxx

I lived in Paradise for a year as a student - it's the around the Stoney Stanton Road just after the "Police Station" on the corner (The one below the block of flats.) It's pretty rough, and looks even rougher these days, but seems to be dominated by some of the most awful retail parks in the city. Large slabs of white ugliness surrounded by car parks.

Best avoided.

The story is that areas of cities called "Paradise" are former red light districs. Hence the name.
