Coventry Market car park

Cars parked on the roofs of the single storey Coventry Market and shops in Market Way. Opened in 1958, the indoor market is circular in plan and houses stalls set out in concentric rings with a children's roundabout under the light well in the centre (visible to the right of this photo). Visible on the horizon is the tower of the Methodist Central Hall and, to its right, Greyfriars/Christchurch spire. Interestingly, neither are shown with the usual place of worship symbols on the map (Christchurch is no longer active, only the spire remains; Central Hall is still active).
