Coventry

Coventry is a large city in the West Midlands region of England. In medieval times, the city thrived largely due to the textile and weaving trade. At the start of the Second World War, the city reestablished itself in the industry of metal-working, manufacturing automobiles, bicycles and airplane engines. Coventry was heavily bombed by the German Luftwaffe during World War II and much of the city was destroyed. Today Coventry is both an industrial center and a cathedral city.
