Castle Yard looking onto Hay Lane

Image: © A J Paxton Taken: 1 May 2021

Castle Yard is a courtyard surrounded by the Council House (the city hall of Coventry), St. Mary's Guildhall, and buildings on Hay Lane and Bayley Lane, some of them timber-framed structures, though now encased in brick. A passageway through one of these houses, seen here, leads into Hay Lane. The steeple of St. Michael's, the ruined cathedral, overlooks the yard, and in this picture a photo of it can be seen in a window on the other side of Hay Lane, framed by the passageway. There are two businesses facing onto Castle Yard, a bar and a tattoo parlour.
