Another, better, photo of the Noorul Islam Jamia Mosque, the oldest purpose-built mosque in Coventry (see Image]). It was registered for public worship in 1960 and opened the following year, serving a mainly Pakistani community. It is marked on the map with a cross by the Ordnance Survey, which largely ignored non-Christian religious sites for many years, but now uses the former church symbols with their crosses for all places of worship. Is this an advance?
