This print showcases the historic Cook Street Gate in Coventry, captured circa 1936. The gate stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage and serves as a reminder of its medieval past. The attached plaque provides valuable insight into its origins, revealing that it was constructed around 1385. A generous contribution by Col. W. F. Wyley in 1913 allowed for the gate's preservation, prior to its first restoration in 1918. This act of philanthropy ensured that future generations could appreciate this remarkable piece of history.
