A Latvian shop and a Portuguese shop occupy retail units in John Sinclair House, fronting onto Coventry canal basin. The Latvian shop is called Rudens, which means autumn, hence the autumnal leaf displays in the windows. The Portuguese shop, Gorety, has cafe tables outside, popular in the summer months. The unit between them is occupied by a Riley project, dedicated to documenting the history of the Coventry car maker and building a replica of its first car; see Image
