Hales Street
A vintage 'Royal Blue' coach in National Travel livery stands in Hales Street, ready to take on passengers for the free shuttle from the Coventry Transport Museum to the Festival of Motoring at Stoneleigh Park. Beyond it is Corporation Street and Hillman House tower block.
Royal Blue coaches served the South and West and the name disappeared when a National Express re-branding in the 1980s dropped the predecessor firm names. A similar one in action in 1978: Image

The Old Grammar School (interior)
The main hall of the recently restored old grammar school ( Image] ). The black wooden stalls, believed to date from the 15th century, were former choir stalls in Whitefriars monastery, where the school endowed by John Hales was first located and came here with the move of the school. They display several examples of 17th and 18th century schoolboy carved graffiti.
The medieval sandstone building was formerly the chapel of the Hospital of St John, founded in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 14th century. The hospital was dissolved in 1545 (Dissolution of the Monasteries) and purchased by John Hales who undertook to provide a school which remained here until moving to a new building in Warwick Road in 1885.
