Fargo Village is a retail and food business centre and 'creative hub' on Far Gosford Street which opened in 2014, the fruit of a partnership between Creative Developments and the City Council. https://www.coventrysociety.org.uk/news/article/fargo-village.html The name Fargo alludes to Far Gosford Street but also to the US west, and the development projects a west-coast creative-hipster vibe. The turnover of businesses appears quite high, but overall the area seems to be flourishing, helped no doubt by the presence of a craft brewery and tap room and various eateries. The covered seating area between them, with its metal-framed, factory-like roof, is a new, post-pandemic development in 2021 that encourages customers to socialise outdoors in all weathers.
