The Noorul Islam Jamia Mosque is believed to be the oldest mosque in Coventry. It was registered for public worship in 1960 and opened the following year to serve a mainly Pakistani community, though the existing building may be more recent than this. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/warks/vol8/pp396-397 Many mosques in Britain began as conversions of houses or other buildings and were in some cases later replaced by purpose-built structures. https://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/archive/a-history-of-mosques-in-britain
