Whitefriars Street, seen here at the end of a hot summer afternoon, takes its name from the medieval Carmelite friary that stood nearby, parts of which still survive. On the right can be seen the new building of the Coventry Boys & Girls Club. Founded in 1935 as the Coventry Boys' Club, it moved to its new home around 2018, while student flats were constructed on its old site nearby. For a timeline, see the CGBC site here https://www.covboysandgirlsclub.co.uk/cbgc-timeline/ ; the new building can be seen under construction here Image The tiled dome in the left middle distance belongs to the former Coliseum ballroom, now part of Coventry University Image
