A large church building with a tall bell tower, occupying a prominent site on a slope above Radford Road and Radford Common. It is a Church of England parish church constructed in 1955-57 to designs by Lavender, Twentyman & Percy. It replaced one of 1874 that was completely destroyed in the air raid of November 1940. The church is now boarded up and the congregation worships in the adjoining church hall, visible to the left of the picture, which was built at the same time. The church building is said to be suffering from rusting of the steel reinforcement bars within the concrete, and the diocese proposes demolition. https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MCT707&resourceID=1029 https://news.coventrysociety.org.uk/2020/04/15/st-nicholas-church-radford-worthy-of-listing/
