The Ramgarhia Gurdwara is a Sikh temple (gurdwara) on a prominent site at 1103 Foleshill Road, further out of town than most other Coventry gurdwaras. Its website is here http://ramgarhiagurdwara.com/ , but has nothing to say about its history. It was founded in 1965, according to the Victoria County History of Warwickshire, Vol 8, pp396-397 https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/warks/vol8/pp396-397 . A brief TV news clip of the opening of the new building in 1969 can be seen here https://www.macearchive.org/films/midlands-news-07111969-opening-sikh-temple-coventry . The new structure shown in the news report is attached to a row of terraced houses, which have since been replaced as the gurdwara has been extended.
