Coventry in Euroland: Loving that Bulgarian Sheep Milk Cheese
A European food shop at the corner of Walsgrave Road and Clay Lane in Ball Hill, Coventry, is advertising Bulgarian sheep milk cheese (note the white, green and red colours of the Bulgarian flag). A consequence of Bulgaria joining the European Union in 2007 is that there is now a significant Bulgarian community in Coventry. Some of its members could be seen, dressed in national costume, marching in the 'This is the City' parade Image] that marked the official end of the UK City of Culture celebrations in Coventry.

Elm Bank, Stoke Park, Coventry
Elm Bank was for more than forty years the home of Siegfried Bettmann, founder and managing director of the Triumph motorcycle company. Born into a Jewish family in Nuremberg in 1863, Bettmann settled in Coventry in 1885 and began selling bicycles the following year. He founded Triumph with a fellow-German, Moritz Schulte; the company began making bicycles in Coventry in 1888 and diversified into motorcycles in 1902. Bettmann was elected mayor of Coventry in 1913 but was forced to resign the following year amid anti-German hysteria at the outbreak of the first world war. https://www.jewishlivesproject.com/profiles/siegfried-bettmann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_Bettmann
A blue plaque remembering Bettmann was placed on the house in 2015; https://www.coventrysociety.org.uk/news/article/bettmanns-home-gets-blue-plaque.html it can be seen in the centre of the photo. The house and outbuildings have since been divided into fourteen luxury flats and bungalows. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/former-home-triumph-cycles-founder-19601495 They are situated in Stoke Park, a walled estate of large houses built in the later 19th century.
