The birth place and home of Eric Coates (1886-1957) on the corner of Duke Street and Beardall Street as seen here with the greater part of Duke Street behind the photographer. Coates has been described as 'the uncrowned King of light music composition'. He also played the viola. He is perhaps best known for his composition "By the Sleepy Lagoon" (1930) that is still used to introduce "Desert Island Discs" on Radio 4 and for "The Dambusters March" (1954), the music used in this classic film.
